The purpose of this first article is to provide a physical basis for atmospheric Rossby waves at the tropopause to clarify their properties and improve our knowledge of their role in the genesis of extreme precipitation and heat waves.

Gravity Wave Activity in the Stratosphere and Mesosphere During Hurricane Sam
Abstract Multi‐instrument observations of gravity wave (GW) activity during Hurricane Sam (2021) were made using AIRS (Atmospheric Infrared Sounder) satellite data, ERA5 reanalysis, and TIMED/SABER temperature profiles. Two GW extraction methods, vertical high‐pass filtering and empirical mode decomposition, were applied to quantify wave‐induced ...

Abstract The Congo River represents one of the largest freshwater discharges in the Atlantic Ocean. In this study, we investigate the role of mesoscale and submesoscale dynamics in modulating salinity transport, using a 3 km‐resolution realistic numerical simulation.

Rossby waves and zonons in zonostrophic turbulence
Two-dimensional, small-scale forced turbulent flows on the surface of a rotating sphere, along with the familiar Rossby-Haurwitz waves, reveal a new class of waves termed zonons.

Abstract Understanding the multiscale dynamics of ocean surface turbulence requires diagnostics that reliably characterize variability at scales both larger and smaller than the Rossby radius of deformation. This study evaluates the consistency and interpretability of second‐order velocity structure functions derived from Eulerian and Lagrangian ...

Abstract Warm, saline Atlantic waters and fresher Arctic‐origin waters converge in the central Nordic Seas, creating strong mesoscale and submesoscale variability that influences both hydrography and sound propagation. During the Northern Ocean Rapid Surface Evolution 2022 experiment, high‐resolution temperature and salinity measurements were collected

Generation of Submesoscale Vortices by Tidal Currents Near a Water Headland
Abstract This study investigates the generation of high‐frequency, submesoscale vortices by baroclinic tidal flow near a coastal headland off southeast Korea. Using a combination of shipboard surveys and a triangular array of three bottom‐mounted acoustic Doppler current profilers, we characterize the structure and dynamics of these motions.

Abstract Sea surface height (SSH) reflects a superposition of balanced motions (BM) and unbalanced motions (UBM), which play distinct roles in ocean dynamics and energetics. The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite provides two‐dimensional SSH maps at spatial resolutions where BM and UBM coexist, but its 21‐day repeat cycle precludes ...
