Could the two anticyclonic eddies during winter 2003/2004 be reproduced and predicted in the northern South China Sea? [PDF]
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 ...

Observations of Mesoscale Eddies in Satellite SSS and Inferred Eddy Salt Transport [PDF]
Observations of sea surface salinity (SSS) from NASA’s Soil Moisture Active-Passive (SMAP) and ESA’s Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite missions are used to characterize and quantify the contribution of mesoscale eddies to the ocean transport of salt. Given large errors in satellite retrievals and, consequently, SSS maps, we evaluate two

Physical controls and mesoscale variability in the Labrador Sea spring phytoplankton bloom observed by Seaglider [PDF]
We investigated the 2005 spring phytoplankton bloom in the Labrador Sea using Seaglider, an autonomous underwater vehicle equipped with hydrographic, bio-optical and oxygen sensors.

Traditional composite methods for mesoscale eddies predominantly employ simplistic geographical partitioning, seldom taking into account the variations in mesoscale eddy structures that are jointly influenced by seasonal and regional factors within the ...

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.

Influence of Abnormal Eddies on Seasonal Variations in Sonic Layer Depth in the South China Sea
Sonic layer depth (SLD) is crucial in ocean acoustics research and profoundly influences sound propagation and Sonar detection. Carrying 90% of oceanic kinetic energy, mesoscale eddies significantly impact the propagation of acoustic energy in the ocean.

The Biogeochemical Structure of Southern Ocean Mesoscale Eddies [PDF]
AbstractMesoscale eddies play a key role in modulating physical and biogeochemical properties across the global ocean. They also play a central role in cross‐frontal transport of heat, freshwater, and carbon, especially in the Southern Ocean. However, the role that eddies play in the biogeochemical cycles is not yet well constrained, partly due to a ...

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