Influence of bottom topography on integral constraints in zonal flows with parameterized potential vorticity fluxes [PDF]

, 2013
An integral constraint for eddy fluxes of potential vorticity (PV), corresponding to global momentum conservation, is applied to two-layer zonal quasi-geostrophic channel flow. This constraint must be satisfied for any type of parameterization of eddy PV

Modification of inertial oscillations by the mesoscale eddy field [PDF]

, 2010
The modification of near-surface near-inertial oscillations (NIOs) by the geostrophic vorticity is studied globally from an observational standpoint. Surface drifter are used to estimate NIO characteristics.

Divergence Observation in a Mesoscale Eddy during Chla Bloom Revealed in Submesoscale Satellite Currents

Remote Sensing, 2023
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

Numerical Eddy-Resolving Modeling of the Ocean: Mesoscale and Sub-Mesoscale Examples [PDF]

Morskoy gidrofizicheskiy zhurnal, 2020
Purpose. The study addresses rotational motion of geophysical fluids in the horizontal and vertical planes. It is aimed mainly at tracing the development of high-resolution numerical modeling of the ocean, as well as at demonstrating new physical processes due to more correct consideration both of the tides in the eddy-resolving numerical models and ...

The supply of nutrients due to vertical turbulent mixing: A study at the Porcupine Abyssal Plain study site in the northeast Atlantic [PDF]

, 2010
As part of a multidisciplinary cruise to the Porcupine Abyssal Plain (PAP) study site (49°00?N 16°30?W), in June and July 2006, observations were made of the vertical nitrate flux due to turbulent mixing.

Influence of mesoscale eddies on the cross-shelf phosphate transport of the Kuroshio Current northeast of Taiwan: A modeling study

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
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.

Observations of Mesoscale Eddies in Satellite SSS and Inferred Eddy Salt Transport [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2021
Observations of sea surface salinity (SSS) from NASA’s Soil Moisture Active-Passive (SMAP) and ESA’s Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite missions are used to characterize and quantify the contribution of mesoscale eddies to the ocean transport of salt. Given large errors in satellite retrievals and, consequently, SSS maps, we evaluate two

The three-dimensional composite analysis method of mesoscale eddies in the Philippine Sea based on sound speed profile clustering

Frontiers in Marine Science
Traditional composite methods for mesoscale eddies predominantly employ simplistic geographical partitioning, seldom taking into account the variations in mesoscale eddy structures that are jointly influenced by seasonal and regional factors within the ...
