Assessment of the Performance of SWOT for Observing the Static Ocean Topography
Geophysical Research LettersMarine geodetic references, such as the mean sea surface (MSS), are currently limited by the spatial resolution of conventional satellite altimeters. We analyze the new swath‐altimetry data from the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite, to

Numerical modeling of internal tides and submesoscale turbulence in the US Caribbean regional ocean
Scientific Reports, 2023 The US Caribbean ocean circulation is governed by an influx of Atlantic water through the passages between Puerto Rico, Hispaniola and the Virgin Islands, and an interplay of the Caribbean Sea water with the local topography of the region.
