Evolution of Submesoscale Ageostrophic Motions Through the Life Cycle of Oceanic Mesoscale Eddies
The global ocean circulation is forced by large‐scale fluxes at the surface and dissipated at small scales by diffusion. To achieve a long‐term equilibrium requires a dynamical route that transfers energy from large to dissipative scales.

Characterizing and following eddies in Drake Passage [PDF]
Drake Passage, the gap between South America and Antarctica, is a very energetic region, with strong currents and numerous eddies. These eddies are important for mixing waters across the main three fronts, and for affecting the biological productivity in

Hyperspectral optical signatures of iron‐limitation in a coastal upwelling system
Abstract Iron‐limitation within the California Current System drives changes in phytoplankton taxonomic composition and photo‐physiology over a range of spatial scales. Here we demonstrate how these iron‐dependent signatures can be resolved, with high spatial resolution, using continuous ship‐board optical measurements.

Conventional wisdom about mesoscale eddies is that cyclonic (anticyclonic) eddies are commonly associated with cold(warm) surface cores. Nevertheless, plenties of surface warm cyclonic eddies (WCEs) and cold anticyclonic eddies (CAEs) in the North ...

Westerly winds prompted an anomalous southward migration of Pacific saury (Cololabis saira)
Abstract The Pacific saury (Cololabis saira), a key pelagic fish in the Northwest Pacific, exhibits autumn migration modulated by Kuroshio–Oyashio Extension mesoscale features, yet daily fishing ground variability remains unexplained. Traditional reliance on remote sensing data has limited understanding of the three‐dimensional mechanisms governing the

Interactions Between Air Pollution and Weather/Climate From Urban to Global Scales
ABSTRACT Air pollution and meteorology are intricately linked. Weather modulates the formation, transport, and removal of pollutants, while aerosols and trace gases modify radiation balance, cloud microphysics, boundary‐layer structure, and other factors. These two‐way interactions span scales from urban to global and have important consequences.

Structural characteristics of an EF4 tornado in Funing were reproduced through numerical simulation with a hectometer‐scale resolution. Results demonstrate that the tornado initiated in the mid‐ to upper‐levels, with the stretching term of the vorticity equation playing a dominant role throughout its development. ABSTRACT Tornadoes are characterized by

Weather prediction and climate models need to simulate clouds of a variety of types. Here we evaluate how well a near‐operational version of such a model simulates clouds in the northeastern Pacific Ocean region. Aspects of the model, including the vertical and horizontal grid spacing and internal formulation, affect the results, and the model errors ...
