Full‐Depth Scalings for Isopycnal Eddy Mixing Across Continental Slopes Under Upwelling‐Favorable Winds

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2021
Mesoscale eddy mixing profoundly modulates the ocean tracer budgets, and is typically parameterized via the isopycnal eddy diffusivity in ocean climate models.

Oceanic Mesoscale Eddy Depletion Catalyzed by Internal Waves

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
Abstract The processes leading to the depletion of oceanic mesoscale kinetic energy (KE) and the energization of near‐inertial internal waves are investigated using a suite of realistically forced regional ocean simulations.

Characterizing Mesoscale Eddies of Eastern Upwelling Origins in the Atlantic Ocean and Their Role in Offshore Transport

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Motivated by the recurrent formation of eddies in the eastern upwelling areas, we examine cross-basin connectivity that is promoted by coherent, long-lived and long-propagating mesoscale eddies in the Atlantic Ocean.

ISOM 1.0: a fully mesoscale-resolving idealized Southern Ocean model and the diversity of multiscale eddy interactions [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development
We describe an idealized Southern Ocean model (ISOM 1.0) that contains simplified iconic topographic features in the Southern Ocean and conduct a fully mesoscale-resolving simulation with the horizontal resolution of 2 km, based on the Massachusetts ...

Modeling Mesoscale Eddies Generated Over the Continental Slope, East Antarctica

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Mesoscale eddies are abundant over the Antarctic continental slope, with the potential to regulate the water masses transport, mixing, and energy transfer.

The Multi‐Scale Response of the Eddy Kinetic Energy and Transport to Strengthened Westerlies in an Idealized Antarctic Circumpolar Current

Geophysical Research Letters
The Southern Ocean's eddy response to changing climate remains unclear, with observations suggesting non‐monotonic changes in eddy kinetic energy (EKE) across scales.

SATELLITE PICTURES OF MESOSCALE EDDIES

Monthly Weather Review, 1962
Abstract Satellite photographs of horizontal eddy patterns are presented and the conditions associated with their formation are discussed. It is shown that some map be purely mechnnical eddies produced by an obstacle (islands) in the flow, others may be the result of inertial oscillation, and others may be produced by inertial instability.

Characteristics of submesoscale eddy structures within mesoscale eddies in the Gulf of Mexico from 1/48° ECCO estimates

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Submesoscale oceanic structures (<10-20 km) such as eddies and fronts are often difficult to describe given the influence of the mesoscale. In order to characterize the surface signatures of submesoscale structures, we utilize a custom spatial ...

Parameterizing mesoscale eddy buoyancy transport over sloping topography

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2023
Most of the ocean’s kinetic energy is contained within the mesoscale eddy field. Models that do not resolve these eddies tend to parameterize their impacts such that the parameterized transport of buoyancy and tracers reduces the large-scale available potential energy and spreads tracers.
