Offshore transport of particulate organic carbon in the California Current System by mesoscale eddies. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2019 The California Current System is characterized by upwelling and rich mesoscale eddy activity. Cyclonic eddies generally pinch off from meanders in the California Current, potentially trapping upwelled water along the coast and transporting it offshore ...

The dynamical impact of mesoscale eddies on migration of Japanese eel larvae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 In this study, we explore the dynamical role of mesoscale eddies on fish larvae migration using the example of Subtropical Counter Current eddies and the migration of Japanese eel larvae in the western North Pacific Ocean.

On the Vertical Structure of Mesoscale Eddies in the Kuroshio‐Oyashio Extension
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Vertical structure of mesoscale eddies is key to the eddy‐induced heat/material transport that further affects the climate and marine ecosystem. This study explores the vertical structure of mesoscale eddies in the Kuroshio‐Oyashio Extension region (KOE)

Comparative analysis of four types of mesoscale eddies in the Kuroshio-Oyashio extension region
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Oceanic mesoscale cyclonic (anticyclonic) eddies usually have cold (warm) cores and counterclockwise (clockwise) flow fields in the Northern Hemisphere.

Mesoscale eddies transport deep-sea sediments. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2014 Mesoscale eddies, which contribute to long-distance water mass transport and biogeochemical budget in the upper ocean, have recently been taken into assessment of the deep-sea hydrodynamic variability. However, how such eddies influence sediment movement in the deepwater environment has not been explored.

Submesoscale Instabilities in Mesoscale Eddies [PDF]
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2017 AbstractSubmesoscale processes have been extensively studied in observations and simulations of fronts. Recent idealized simulations show that submesoscale instabilities also occur in baroclinic mesoscale cyclones and anticyclones. The instabilities in the anticyclone grow faster and at coarser grid resolution than in the cyclone.
