On the Cell Broadening of Mesoscale Cellular Convection in a Well‐Mixed Boundary Layer
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Understanding what controls the horizontal scale of mesoscale cellular convection is central to explaining cloud self‐organization and its radiative impacts. Using a hierarchy of large‐eddy simulations, we investigate cell broadening in a well‐mixed boundary layer by isolating the roles of radiation, cloud microphysics, and water vapor.

Comparison between three implementations of automatic identification algorithms for the quantification and characterization of mesoscale eddies in the South Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
, 2011 "Three methods for automatic detection of mesoscale coherent structures are applied to Sea Level Anomaly (SLA) fields in the South Atlantic. The first method is based on the wavelet packet decomposition of the SLA data, the second on the estimation of ...

Formation and Arrest of a Surface Density Front via Strain‐Driven Frontogenesis
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract Ocean fronts play a key role in the vertical transport of heat, energy and biogeochemical tracers, but their behavior and life cycle is not well‐understood, especially at smaller scales. We present a large‐eddy simulation of mixed layer frontogenesis capturing the onset of a submesoscale regime from a larger scale, rotation‐dominated front ...

SATELLITE PICTURES OF MESOSCALE EDDIES
Monthly Weather Review, 1962 Abstract Satellite photographs of horizontal eddy patterns are presented and the conditions associated with their formation are discussed. It is shown that some map be purely mechnnical eddies produced by an obstacle (islands) in the flow, others may be the result of inertial oscillation, and others may be produced by inertial instability.

Baroclinic Submesoscale Eddies in the Ross Ice Shelf Cavity Alter Heat Pathways to the Ice Base
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract The influence of baroclinic submesoscale eddies on basal melting beneath Ross Ice Shelf remains poorly understood. We analyzed a 4.5‐year mooring record from the central cavity and identified seven eddy‐like events from variability in density, velocity, and thermohaline structure, with horizontal scales (∼11 km) characteristic of submesoscale ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite provides a groundbreaking view of sea surface height (SSH) across a 120‐km‐wide swath (20‐km nadir gap), opening new opportunities to reconstruct vertical velocities (w) $(w)$. Vertical motions play a central role in redistributing properties, influencing climate and ecosystems. Using the

Assimilation of ocean sea-surface height observations of mesoscale eddies
, 2017 Mesoscale eddies are one of the dominant sources of variability in the world's oceans. With eddy-resolving global ocean models, it becomes important to assimilate observations of mesoscale eddies to correctly represent the state of the mesoscale.

Emergence of Subsurface Warming in the Southern Ocean Gateway Between New Zealand and Antarctica
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract We analyze temperature variability in the surface and intermediate layers of the Southern Ocean from 1994 to 2025 using a 30‐year summertime record of Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) measurements collected along the PX36 line across the New Zealand–Antarctica chokepoint of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC).
