Work done by atmospheric winds on mesoscale ocean eddies [PDF]
, 2016 Mesoscale eddies are ubiquitous in the ocean and dominate the ocean's kinetic energy. However, physical processes influencing ocean eddy energy remains poorly understood.

Primary Analysis of Oceanic Mesoscale Eddies Observation Abilities by Sentinel-3A SRAL [PDF]
Journal of Geodesy and Geoinformation Science, 2021 In this study, the north-western Pacific Ocean of Kuroshio region is selected as the experimental area to analyze the mesoscale eddies observation abilities of Sentinel-3A SRAL, including the independent detection abilities of Sentinel-3A SRAL and the ...

Stationary mesoscale eddies, upgradient eddy fluxes, and the anisotropy of eddy diffusivity [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 AbstractThe mesoscale eddies of which parameterization is needed in coarse‐resolution ocean models include not only the transient eddies akin to baroclinic instability but also the stationary eddies associated with topography. By applying a modified Lorenz‐type decomposition to the eddy‐permitting Southern Ocean State Estimate, we show that the ...

Could the two anticyclonic eddies during winter 2003/2004 be reproduced and predicted in the northern South China Sea? [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2019 Great progress has been made in understanding the mesoscale eddies and their role on the large-scale structure and circulation of the oceans. However, many questions still remain to be resolved, especially with regard to the reproductivity and ...

Surface Chlorophyll Enhancement in Mesoscale Eddies by Submesoscale Spiral Bands
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 Oceanic submesoscale processes (with scales ~1–10 km and approximately days) have been progressively recognized as an important upwelling mechanism to close the upper ocean nutrient budget and sustain the primary production in euphotic layer. Spiral band

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Motivated by the recurrent formation of eddies in the eastern upwelling areas, we examine cross-basin connectivity that is promoted by coherent, long-lived and long-propagating mesoscale eddies in the Atlantic Ocean.

Mesoscale Eddies Modulate Mixed Layer Depth Globally
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 Mesoscale eddies, energetic vortices covering nearly a third of the ocean surface at any one time, modulate the spatial and temporal evolution of the mixed layer.

Random Movement of Mesoscale Eddies in the Global Ocean
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2020 In this study we track and analyze eddy movement in the global ocean using 20 years of altimeter data and show that, in addition to the well-known westward propagation and slight polarity-based meridional deflections, mesoscale eddies also move randomly ...

Eddy heat fluxes from direct current measurements of the Antarctic Polar Front in Shag Rocks Passage [PDF]
, 2008 Determining meridional heat flux in the Southern Ocean is critical to the accurate understanding and model simulation of the global ocean. Mesoscale eddies provide a significant but poorly-defined contribution to this transport.
