Physical controls and mesoscale variability in the Labrador Sea spring phytoplankton bloom observed by Seaglider [PDF]

, 2009
We investigated the 2005 spring phytoplankton bloom in the Labrador Sea using Seaglider, an autonomous underwater vehicle equipped with hydrographic, bio-optical and oxygen sensors.

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.

Incorporation of larval fishes into a developing anti-cyclonic eddy of the Leeuwin Current: timing, sources and pathways [PDF]

, 2009
Meso-scale circulation and cross-shelf transport of planktonic biota associated with the formation of an anticyclonic (warm-core) eddy of the poleward-flowing Leeuwin Current (LC) were examined during a month-long, multidisciplinary voyage off south ...

Comparative analysis of four types of mesoscale eddies in the north pacific subtropical countercurrent region – part I spatial characteristics

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The North Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC) region has high mesoscale eddy activities due to its complex circulation structure. This study divides these mesoscale eddies into four types: cyclonic cold-core eddy (CCE), anticyclonic warm-core eddy (

Hydrodynamic modelling of mesoscale eddies in the Black Sea [PDF]

Ocean Dynamics, 2005
A three dimensional structure of mesoscale circulation in the Black Sea is simulated using the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory Coastal Ocean Modelling System. A number of sensitivity tests reveal the response of the model to changes in the horizontal resolution, time steps, and diffusion coefficients. Three numerical grids are examined with x-fine (3.

Eddies in the southern Mozambique Channel [PDF]

, 2004
The Agulhas Current system contains one of the world's strongest western boundary currents, and plays an important part in the warm water path of the global thermohaline circulation.

Modelling of elevated mesoscale convective systems [PDF]

, 2012
Elevated convection occurs when convection originates from above the boundary layer. The interaction of an elevated storm with the stable layer beneath it often generates features such as waves and bores that maintain the convection.

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.

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.
