The evolution of mesoscale eddies is crucial for understanding the ocean energy cascade. In this study, using global reanalysis sea surface velocity data and a mesoscale eddy trajectory product tracked by satellite altimeters, we aimed to reveal the ...

Mesoscale vorticity is an important factor that affects the non-uniform horizontal and vertical distribution of hydrologic elements in the ocean. In this paper, temperature and salinity data from measured mesoscale cold-core eddies during a voyage within

Taking into Account the Eddy Density on Analysis of Underwater Glider Motion
Mesoscale eddies play an important role in regulating the global ocean ecosystem and climate variability. However, few studies have been found to focus on the survey of the underwater gliders (UGs) motion performance inside mesoscale eddies.

Inferring tracer diffusivity from coherent mesoscale eddies
AbstractMixing along isopycnals plays an important role in the transport and uptake of oceanic tracers. Isopycnal mixing is commonly quantified by a tracer diffusivity. Previous studies have estimated the tracer diffusivity using the rate of dispersion of surface drifters, subsurface floats, or numerical particles advected by satellite‐derived velocity

Elastic Interaction Between a Mesoscale Eddy‐Pair and an Axisymmetrical Eddy
AbstractWe investigate numerically the elastic interaction between an eddy‐pair and an axisymmetrical eddy in inviscid isochoric two‐dimensional (2D) flows, as well as in three‐dimensional (3D) flows under the quasi‐geostrophic (QG) approximation. The eddy‐pair is a straight moving Lamb‐Chaplygin dipole where the absolute value of either its positive ...

Oceanic mesoscale eddies continuously regulate the horizontal and vertical transport of mass, heat, salt, carbon, and nutrients throughout the ocean system owing to their ubiquity, three-dimensionality, and long-term persistence. Although satellites have

A Comparative Study of the Temperature Change in a Warm Eddy Using Multisource Data
An ocean acoustic tomography (OAT) experiment conducted in the northern South China Sea in 2021 measured a month-long record of acoustic travel times along paths of over one hundred kilometers in range.

The Kuroshio Current flows northeastward along the East China Sea (ECS) shelf break, carrying a large amount of nutrients, and is thus an important source of nutrients for the ECS.

Impact of Mesoscale Eddies on Deep Chlorophyll Maxima [PDF]
AbstractDeep Chlorophyll Maxima (DCM) are ubiquitous features in stratified oceanic systems. Their establishment and maintenance result from hydrographical stability favoring specific environmental conditions with respect to light and nutrient availability required for phytoplankton growth.
