Abstract Loop Current Frontal Eddies (LCFEs) are eddies that generate through instabilities of the Loop Current (LC). LCFEs have long been considered oases for fish communities due to their elevated chlorophyll‐a (Chl‐a) concentrations, typically attributed to their cyclonic nature.

Abstract Although the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG) is among the most oligotrophic regions, its vast expanse means that small productivity shifts can alter the global carbon budget. We quantified net community production (NCP) from high‐resolution O2 ${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$/Ar measurements and gross primary production (GPP) from 18O incubations in ...

Generation of Submesoscale Vortices by Tidal Currents Near a Water Headland
Abstract This study investigates the generation of high‐frequency, submesoscale vortices by baroclinic tidal flow near a coastal headland off southeast Korea. Using a combination of shipboard surveys and a triangular array of three bottom‐mounted acoustic Doppler current profilers, we characterize the structure and dynamics of these motions.

A continental shelf scale survey from 22°S to 34°S along the Western Australia coast provides the first detailed synoptic examination of the structure, circulation and modification of the southward flowing Leeuwin Current (LC) during the late austral ...

Abstract Powder snow avalanches are highly dynamic, multiphase gravity‐driven flows typically composed of a dense basal layer overlain by airborne layers in which snow particles are suspended within a turbulent air phase. Despite extensive work on related systems such as pyroclastic density currents and turbidity currents, all gravity current studies ...

Abstract Sea surface height (SSH) reflects a superposition of balanced motions (BM) and unbalanced motions (UBM), which play distinct roles in ocean dynamics and energetics. The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite provides two‐dimensional SSH maps at spatial resolutions where BM and UBM coexist, but its 21‐day repeat cycle precludes ...

WACCM‐RR: A Regionally‐Refined Version of the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model
Abstract We introduce the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model with Regional Refinement (WACCM‐RR) and study the impact of directly resolving gravity waves (GWs) in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT; 70–140 km). Two simulations of 2010 are compared: “Non‐RR” is a standard WACCM case with a horizontal resolution of ∼1° (111 km) globally ...

Flow Decomposition by Optimal Balance With Time‐Averaging
Abstract Decomposing oceanic and atmospheric flow fields into their slowly evolving balanced components and fast evolving wave components is essential to study processes like spontaneous or stimulated wave emission. However, a decomposition into the linear geostrophic (slow) and non‐geostrophic (fast) components is often not precise enough to address ...
