Scale‐Awareness in an Eddy Energy Constrained Mesoscale Eddy Parameterization

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2023
AbstractThere is an increasing interest in mesoscale eddy parameterizations that are scale‐aware, normally interpreted to mean that a parameterization does not require parameter recalibration as the model resolution changes. Here we examine whether Gent–McWilliams (GM) based version of GEOMETRIC, a mesoscale eddy parameterization that is constrained by

Eddy characteristics in the South Indian Ocean as inferred from surface drifters [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2015
Using a geometric eddy identification method, cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies from submesoscale to mesoscale in the South Indian Ocean (SIO) have been statistically investigated based on 2082 surface drifters from 1979 to 2013.

Sub-Mesoscale Frontal Instabilities in the Omani Coastal Current

Mathematics, 2020
The Omani Coastal Current (OCC) flowing northward along the southern coast of Oman during the summer monsoon is associated with an upwelling system. The mesoscale circulation of the western Arabian Sea is dominated by energetic mesoscale eddies down to ...

Oceanic Mesoscale Eddies Identification Using B-Spline Surface Fitting Model Based on Along-Track SLA Data

Remote Sensing, 2022
Gridded reanalysis data has been widely used in oceanic mesoscale eddy identification. However, there is little research on identifying oceanic mesoscale eddies based on along-track data.

Three-dimensional structure of sub-mesoscale eddies on the continental shelf [PDF]

Ocean Science
Sub-mesoscale eddies are oceanic features crucial for energy transfer processes, transport of heat and biogeochemical tracers, and for promoting diversity in marine ecosystems.

Spatiotemporal Variability of Mesoscale Eddies in the Indonesian Seas [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2021
Mesoscale eddies are ubiquitous in the world ocean and well researched both globally and regionally, while their properties and distributions across the whole Indonesian Seas are not yet fully understood. This study investigates for the first time the spatiotemporal variations and generation mechanisms of mesoscale eddies across the whole Indonesian ...

Sensitivity study of energy transfer between mesoscale eddies and wind-induced near-inertial oscillations [PDF]

Ocean Science
Analyses of current observations and numerical simulations at two moorings in the northern South China Sea reveal the transfer of near-inertial energy between the background currents associated with mesoscale eddies and near-inertial currents (NICs).
