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]
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 ...

Mesoscale dynamics of an intrathermocline eddy in the Canary Eddy Corridor
Abstract. High-resolution observations of an intrathermocline eddy were conducted in November 2022 within the Canary Eddy Corridor. Formed in early summer 2022, this mature mesoscale eddy exhibited a vertical extent of 550 m, with its core centered at 110 m depth, and a segmented horizontal structure comprising a 23 km radius solid-body core surrounded

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

Ocean Mesoscale Variability: A Case Study on the Mediterranean Sea From a Re-Analysis Perspective
The mesoscale variability in the Mediterranean Sea is investigated through eddy detection techniques. The analysis is performed over 24 years (1993–2016) considering the three-dimensional (3D) fields from an ocean re-analysis of the Mediterranean Sea ...

On the Vertical Structure of Mesoscale Eddies in the Kuroshio‐Oyashio Extension
Vertical structure of mesoscale eddies is key to the eddy‐induced heat/material transport that further affects the climate and marine ecosystem. This study explores the vertical structure of mesoscale eddies in the Kuroshio‐Oyashio Extension region (KOE)
