Eddies around Madagascar - the retroflection re-considered [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The Agulhas Current with its retroflection and attendant eddy-shedding is the cause of some of the greatest mesoscale variability in the ocean. This paper considers the area to the south and east of Madagascar, which provides some of the source waters of

Eddies in the southern Mozambique Channel [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The Agulhas Current system contains one of the world's strongest western boundary currents, and plays an important part in the warm water path of the global thermohaline circulation.

Temporally Varying Mesoscale Eddy Characteristics in the California Current System Identified from RAFOS Floats

open access: yesOcean and Coastal Research, 2022
The SOund Fixing And Ranging (RAFOS) floats were deployed by the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) near California coast from 1992 to 2004 at depth between 150 and 600 m (http://www.oc.nps.edu/npsRAFOS/).

A hybrid identification and tracking of Lagrangian mesoscale eddies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
International audienceAutomatic identification and tracking of mesoscale eddies are crucial in large oceanic observational and numerical model data. This work proposes a fully automated method that identifies and tracks from a single Lagrangian advection,

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

open access: yesOcean 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).

Numerical Eddy-Resolving Modeling of the Ocean: Mesoscale and Sub-Mesoscale Examples [PDF]

open access: yesMorskoy gidrofizicheskiy zhurnal, 2020
Purpose. The study addresses rotational motion of geophysical fluids in the horizontal and vertical planes. It is aimed mainly at tracing the development of high-resolution numerical modeling of the ocean, as well as at demonstrating new physical processes due to more correct consideration both of the tides in the eddy-resolving numerical models and ...

Silicate:nitrate ratios of upwelled waters control the phytoplankton community sustained by mesoscale eddies in sub-tropical North Atlantic and Pacific [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2011
Mesoscale eddies in sub-tropical gyres physically perturb the water column and can introduce macronutrients to the euphotic zone, stimulating a biological response in which phytoplankton communities can become dominated by large phytoplankton.
