Mesoscale eddies heterogeneously modulate CO₂ fluxes in eddy-rich regions of the Southern Ocean [PDF]

Biogeosciences
Mesoscale eddies are known to influence the Southern Ocean biogeochemistry. However, the distinct contributions of cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies to air–sea CO2 fluxes, as well as their longer-term effects remain poorly studied. We present results from

Anthropogenic Carbon Isotope Signals in North Atlantic Water Masses at 48°N

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Deep‐water masses are formed in the North‐Atlantic, making studies of δ13C of dissolved CO2 in this region key to monitor and understand the spreading of anthropogenic carbon into the ocean interior. The objective of this study is to quantify the Suess effect (SE) in North Atlantic water masses using sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) as the ...

Numerical Models, Observing Systems, and Data Assimilation for Prediction of Ocean Mesoscale Eddies

Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Research
Mesoscale eddies pervade the global ocean, characterized by a typical horizontal scale of approximately 100 km and a timescale on the order of a month.

Mesoscale Soil Moisture Heterogeneity Can Locally Amplify Humid Heat

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Soil moisture is a key ingredient of humid heat through supplying moisture and modifying boundary layer properties. Soil moisture heterogeneity due to for example, antecedent rainfall, can strongly influence weather patterns; yet, its effect on humid heat is poorly understood.

Statistical Analysis of Multi-Year South China Sea Eddies and Exploration of Eddy Classification

Remote Sensing
Mesoscale eddies are structures of seawater motion with horizontal scales of tens to hundreds of kilometers, impact depths of tens to hundreds of meters, and time scales of days to months. This study presents a statistical analysis of mesoscale eddies in

Buoyancy Flux and Its Environmental Modulation in the Vertical Development of Shallow Cumulus in the Central Amazon

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the vertical development of shallow cumulus (ShCu) clouds in the Central Amazon (CAMZ) by combining large‐eddy simulations (LES) with observational data from the GoAmazon2014/5 campaign. Analyses of turbulent kinetic energy budgets, updraft mass flux, moisture flux, and surface fluxes across cloud sizes indicate that ...

Wind‐Front Interactions Drive Intense Turbulence at the Oceanic Submesoscale

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Observations of the cold wake of Cyclone Biparjoy in the Arabian Sea reveal an asymmetrical boundary layer structure across a dense water filament (DWF). This asymmetry arises from the interaction between monsoonal winds and uniquely strong frontal buoyancy gradients.

Mesoscale Eddies Are Oases for Higher Trophic Marine Life [PDF]

, 2012
Mesoscale eddies stimulate biological production in the ocean, but knowledge of energy transfers to higher trophic levels within eddies remains fragmented and not quantified.
