Transport to the Extratropical Stratosphere by Overshooting Storms in Idealized Simulations
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract Deep convection is a significant source of water to the extratropical stratosphere which can alter radiative properties and contribute to ozone loss. Previous studies find it responsible for 40% of mid‐latitude water vapor above 380K. However, the amount of hydration from individual storms and the mechanisms that initiate mixing is less ...

Meridional Dipole in Eddy Activity Along Peruvian Coast During Eastern Pacific El Niño Events
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract Mesoscale oceanic eddies (O $O$(100)km) play a key role in regulating climate by affecting the transport of heat and water mass properties. However, most climate models struggle to simulate these eddies due to coarse horizontal resolution. Using a 120‐year ultra‐high‐resolution simulation with 1/10° ${}^{\circ}$ horizontal ocean resolution ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract The convective velocity scale is commonly used to describe the vertical‐velocity variance in the convective boundary layer driven by surface heating, and is valid when the surface heat flux varies slowly compared to the eddy turnover time. This quasi‐equilibrium assumption typically holds from late morning to early afternoon, but breaks down ...

Eddy Kinetic Energy Contribution to Total Ocean Kinetic Energy From Multi‐Satellite Altimetry
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract Ocean mesoscale structures play a central role in transporting oceanic properties, accounting for a significant fraction of ocean's total kinetic energy (KE). Using 23 years of a novel multisatellite altimetric estimate, we assess the contribution of eddy kinetic energy (EKE), mean kinetic energy (MKE) and cross terms to the temporal mean and ...

Projected Changes of Mesoscale Eddy Activity in Subantarctic Mode Water Formation Regions
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW) plays a vital role in the uptake of heat and carbon, thereby regulating global climate. Mesoscale eddies affect mode‐water subduction and transport in the Southern Ocean. However, it remains unclear how SAMW‐related eddy activity will evolve under anthropogenic warming, because most state‐of‐the‐art climate ...
