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.

On the Genesis of the South China Sea Mesoscale Eddies
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 The climatology of the mesoscale eddies in the upper layer of the South China Sea (SCS) is investigated for an understanding of its genesis using the outputs from a 1/12.5° ocean reanalysis.

Identify habitat distribution within the mesoscale eddies for jumbo flying squid off Chilean waters [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine ScienceMesoscale eddies exert profound influences on marine environments, thereby regulating habitat quality and the distribution of marine organisms. The waters off Chile are a region of intense mesoscale eddy activity and represent a major habitat for the ...

Compact Mesoscale Eddies in the South Brazil Bight
Remote Sensing, 2022 Recent studies suggest that the South Brazil Bight (SBB) hosts strong westward propagating mesoscale eddies. We use 28 years of satellite altimetry data and a new Eddy Atlas to estimate how much of the eddy kinetic energy (EKE) observed in the SBB is accounted for by local eddies, generated in the Brazil Current (BC) region, versus remote eddies ...
