Abstract The convective velocity scale is commonly used to describe the vertical‐velocity variance in the convective boundary layer driven by surface heating, and is valid when the surface heat flux varies slowly compared to the eddy turnover time. This quasi‐equilibrium assumption typically holds from late morning to early afternoon, but breaks down ...

Eddy Kinetic Energy Contribution to Total Ocean Kinetic Energy From Multi‐Satellite Altimetry
Abstract Ocean mesoscale structures play a central role in transporting oceanic properties, accounting for a significant fraction of ocean's total kinetic energy (KE). Using 23 years of a novel multisatellite altimetric estimate, we assess the contribution of eddy kinetic energy (EKE), mean kinetic energy (MKE) and cross terms to the temporal mean and ...

Abstract Open water in sea ice significantly influences Arctic low‐cloud formation. However, current global climate models (GCMs), constrained by grid‐scale coupling between the atmosphere and surface components, cannot resolve subgrid heat fluxes and clouds contrasts between open water and sea ice, contributing to biases in Arctic low‐cloud ...

Asymmetries in Anticyclone Catalyze Submesoscale Motions
Abstract Oceanic mesoscale eddies are often asymmetric, exhibiting horizontal deformation and vertical tilt, yet the implications of these structural asymmetries for finer‐scale dynamics remain poorly understood. Based on a series of high‐resolution numerical experiments, we found that asymmetric anticyclones act as potent catalysts for submesoscale ...
