Comparative species distribution model framework for marine conservation and its application to loggerhead turtles in the Mediterranean

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Modeling species distributions in dynamic pelagic environments remains challenging, particularly for wide‐ranging and highly mobile species when there is limited guidance on model performance. This limitation constrains the effective use of species distribution models (SDMs) in marine conservation, where robust and transferable predictions are

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.

High-latitude eddy statistics from SWOT compared with in situ observations [PDF]

Ocean Science
Mesoscale eddies play a key role in the transport of heat, salt, and momentum in the ocean, yet their statistical characterization at high latitudes has remained elusive due to the coarse resolution of conventional satellite altimetry.

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.

Mesoscale Oceanographic Processes Drive the Seasonal Abundance of the Seabob Shrimp Xiphopenaeus spp. on the Eastern Brazilian Shelf

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The seabob shrimp (Xiphopenaeus spp.) is a primary fishery resource in Brazil, with considerable economic and social importance along the coast. While environmental drivers of its life cycle are well‐documented for southeastern and southern populations, the factors modulating populations in the Eastern Brazilian Shelf remain poorly understood,

Shear enhanced nutrient supply at the Mesoscale

, 2010
Phytoplankton live almost exclusively in the sunlit waters of the euphotic zone. However, in addition to sunlight, phytoplankton require a regular supply of nutrients to grow.

Recent Anomalously Warm Ocean Conditions and Changes in the Migration and Spawning Distribution of Chub Mackerel (Scomber japonicus) in the Western North Pacific

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extreme ocean warming has become increasingly pronounced in the western North Pacific in recent years. Coincident with this, both the egg abundance and the catch per unit effort (CPUE) of chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) in fisheries targeting southward‐migrating adults have decreased.

Demographics of mesoscale eddies in an eddy-permitting ocean model and reanalysis

Progress in Oceanography
Ocean mesoscale eddies can be thought of as the "weather" of the ocean and strongly influence the ocean's physics, chemistry, and biology; they influence other components of the Earth system via air-sea and sea-ice interactions, and are crucial drivers of marine heat waves.

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.

Wind ringing of the ocean in presence of mesoscale eddies [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2004
Recent findings have highlighted the impact of high frequency (HF) winds on the inertial motions and the consequences on the large‐scale oceanic circulation [Wunsch and Ferrari, 2004]. Within this context the present study focuses on the role of intermediate scales related to oceanic mesoscale eddies.
