Impact of Mesoscale Eddies on Deep Chlorophyll Maxima. [PDF]
Geophys Res Lett, 2021 AbstractDeep Chlorophyll Maxima (DCM) are ubiquitous features in stratified oceanic systems. Their establishment and maintenance result from hydrographical stability favoring specific environmental conditions with respect to light and nutrient availability required for phytoplankton growth.

Dissipation of mesoscale eddies at a western boundary via a direct energy cascade [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The fate of mesoscale eddy kinetic energy represents a large source of uncertainty in the global ocean energy budget. Satellite altimetry suggests that mesoscale eddies vanish at ocean western boundaries.

Oceanic mesoscale eddies as crucial drivers of global marine heatwaves [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are prolonged extreme warm water events in the ocean, exerting devastating impacts on marine ecosystems. A comprehensive knowledge of physical processes controlling MHW life cycles is pivotal to improve MHW forecast capacity, yet ...

Mesoscale eddies transport deep-sea sediments. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2014 Mesoscale eddies, which contribute to long-distance water mass transport and biogeochemical budget in the upper ocean, have recently been taken into assessment of the deep-sea hydrodynamic variability. However, how such eddies influence sediment movement in the deepwater environment has not been explored.

Effects of Mesoscale Eddies on Southern Ocean Biogeochemistry. [PDF]
AGU AdvAbstractThe Southern Ocean is rich in highly dynamic mesoscale eddies and substantially modulates global biogeochemical cycles. However, the overall surface and subsurface effects of eddies on the Southern Ocean biogeochemistry have not been quantified observationally at a large scale.

The dynamical impact of mesoscale eddies on migration of Japanese eel larvae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 In this study, we explore the dynamical role of mesoscale eddies on fish larvae migration using the example of Subtropical Counter Current eddies and the migration of Japanese eel larvae in the western North Pacific Ocean.

Submesoscale Instabilities in Mesoscale Eddies [PDF]
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2017 AbstractSubmesoscale processes have been extensively studied in observations and simulations of fronts. Recent idealized simulations show that submesoscale instabilities also occur in baroclinic mesoscale cyclones and anticyclones. The instabilities in the anticyclone grow faster and at coarser grid resolution than in the cyclone.

Mesoscale eddy variability in the Caribbean Sea
Ocean Dynamics, 2022 AbstractThe spatial distribution, and the monthly and seasonal variability of mesoscale eddy observations derived from the AVISO eddy atlas are assessed in the Caribbean Sea during 1993–2019. The average lifetime for the whole set of eddies is 62 ± 37 days, mean amplitude of 7 ± 4 cm for cyclonic and 7 ± 4 cm for anticyclonic and mean radius of 100 ...
