Abstract In oceanic frontal regions, isopycnal stirring induces lateral thermohaline intrusion. Previous studies have observed interleaving layers in the Izu Ridge and Kuroshio Extension attributed to isopycnal stirring driven by mesoscale eddies and submesoscale flows.

Abstract Near‐inertial waves (NIWs) are an important source of turbulence for the ocean interior. Mesoscale anticyclonic eddies are known to facilitate their propagation at depth while trapping them. However, in situ observations have so far focused on large (>50 ${ >} 50$ km radius), energetic eddies, whereas most of the ocean is populated by smaller,

Interaction of Ocean Currents and Seamounts: Near‐Bottom Dynamics Around Atlantis II
Abstract This work investigates through a modeling exercise the interaction of a strong, surface current with isolated seamounts, focusing on the Gulf Stream and Atlantis II, one of the New England Seamounts. The roles of bathymetric details and model resolution are investigated with three simulations that consider realistic realizations of the ...

Abstract The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill in the NE Gulf of Mexico in 2010 was the largest accidental spill globally. During and after the spill, oil was incorporated into marine snow (marine‐oil‐snow or MOS) and sedimented to the seafloor, accounting for ∼21% of the oil released.

Multicore structures of oceanic mesoscale eddies
Abstract Mesoscale eddies observed in coarse-resolution data typically appear with a single center. However, recent altimetry observations of Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) reveal many eddies own multicore structures. This study investigates the differences between these multicore eddies and single-core eddies and how the ...

Two Lateral Stirring Regimes in the Northeast Pacific
Abstract Lateral stirring is a key process shaping the physical and biogeochemical state of the ocean, yet it remains under‐sampled and poorly understood, particularly at submesoscales (1–80 km). Along Line P, a long‐term transect in the Northeast Pacific, lateral stirring was characterized using 15 glider lines with an effective horizontal resolution ...

Abstract Buoyancy forcing in the subpolar North Atlantic Ocean (SPNA) is an important driver of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). To advance understanding of the mechanisms connecting the two processes and their relative importance in sub‐basins within the SPNA, we apply the Water Mass Transformation Framework to a matched‐pair of
