ENERGETICS OF THE GLOBAL OCEAN: THE ROLE OF MESOSCALE EDDIES [PDF]

open access: possible, 2015
This article reviews the energy cycle of the global ocean circulation, focusing on the role of baroclinic mesoscale eddies. Two of the important effects of mesoscale eddies are: (i) the flattening of the slope of large-scale isopycnal surfaces by the eddy-induced overturning circulation, the basis for the Gent–McWilliams parametrization; and (ii) the ...

Dynamic Model of Mesoscale Eddies

Geophysical & Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics, 2003
Oceanic mesoscale eddies which are analogs of well known synoptic eddies (cyclones and anticyclones), are studied on the basis of the turbulence model originated by Dubovikov (Dubovikov, M.S., "Dynamical model of turbulent eddies", Int. J. Mod. Phys. B7, 4631-4645 (1993).) and further developed by Canuto and Dubovikov (Canuto, V.M. and Dubovikov, M.S.,

Wind/stress feedback to mesoscale ocean eddies

2017 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2017
Ocean-surface turbulent fluxes (stress and latent heat) are generated by atmospheric instability caused both by wind shear (difference between wind and current) and buoyancy (vertical density stratification). Stress depends on the vector difference between wind and current.

Mesoscale ocean features: Eddies

2010
One of the earliest impacts of satellite data in mainstream oceanography, persuading marine scientists nearly four decades ago that here was a potentially useful new tool, was to reveal the ubiquitous occurrence of mesoscale variability in the open ocean.
