Submesoscale Instabilities in Mesoscale Eddies [PDF]
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2017 AbstractSubmesoscale processes have been extensively studied in observations and simulations of fronts. Recent idealized simulations show that submesoscale instabilities also occur in baroclinic mesoscale cyclones and anticyclones. The instabilities in the anticyclone grow faster and at coarser grid resolution than in the cyclone.

Dissipation of mesoscale eddies at a western boundary via a direct energy cascade
Scientific Reports, 2022 The fate of mesoscale eddy kinetic energy represents a large source of uncertainty in the global ocean energy budget. Satellite altimetry suggests that mesoscale eddies vanish at ocean western boundaries.

Mesoscale eddy variability in the Caribbean Sea
Ocean Dynamics, 2022 AbstractThe spatial distribution, and the monthly and seasonal variability of mesoscale eddy observations derived from the AVISO eddy atlas are assessed in the Caribbean Sea during 1993–2019. The average lifetime for the whole set of eddies is 62 ± 37 days, mean amplitude of 7 ± 4 cm for cyclonic and 7 ± 4 cm for anticyclonic and mean radius of 100 ...

Mesoscale Eddies Structure Mesopelagic Communities [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Mesoscale eddies play a key role in structuring open ocean ecosystems, affecting the entire trophic web from primary producers to large pelagic predators including sharks and elephant seals. Recent advances in the tracking of pelagic predators have revealed that these animals forage in the mesopelagic and the depth and duration of their foraging dives ...

Global contributions of mesoscale dynamics to meridional heat transport [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2021 Mesoscale ocean processes are prevalent in many parts of the global oceans and may contribute substantially to the meridional movement of heat. Yet earlier global surveys of meridional temperature fluxes and heat transport (HT) have not formally ...

Mesoscale eddies transport deep-sea sediments [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2014 Mesoscale eddies, which contribute to long-distance water mass transport and biogeochemical budget in the upper ocean, have recently been taken into assessment of the deep-sea hydrodynamic variability. However, how such eddies influence sediment movement in the deepwater environment has not been explored.

Scale‐Awareness in an Eddy Energy Constrained Mesoscale Eddy Parameterization
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2023 AbstractThere is an increasing interest in mesoscale eddy parameterizations that are scale‐aware, normally interpreted to mean that a parameterization does not require parameter recalibration as the model resolution changes. Here we examine whether Gent–McWilliams (GM) based version of GEOMETRIC, a mesoscale eddy parameterization that is constrained by
