High‐Resolution Observations Unveil (Sub)Mesoscale Heat Fluxes Shaping Upper‐Ocean Heat Content
Abstract Upper‐ocean heat content (UOHC) modulates air–sea exchange in tropical regions; however, its variability at (sub)mesoscale remains insufficiently resolved. Here we combine Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) observations with high‐resolution glider sections in the northeastern tropical Pacific, where mesoscale eddies and sharp frontal ...

Meridional Dipole in Eddy Activity Along Peruvian Coast During Eastern Pacific El Niño Events
Abstract Mesoscale oceanic eddies (O $O$(100)km) play a key role in regulating climate by affecting the transport of heat and water mass properties. However, most climate models struggle to simulate these eddies due to coarse horizontal resolution. Using a 120‐year ultra‐high‐resolution simulation with 1/10° ${}^{\circ}$ horizontal ocean resolution ...

Eddy Kinetic Energy Contribution to Total Ocean Kinetic Energy From Multi‐Satellite Altimetry
Abstract Ocean mesoscale structures play a central role in transporting oceanic properties, accounting for a significant fraction of ocean's total kinetic energy (KE). Using 23 years of a novel multisatellite altimetric estimate, we assess the contribution of eddy kinetic energy (EKE), mean kinetic energy (MKE) and cross terms to the temporal mean and ...

Projected Changes of Mesoscale Eddy Activity in Subantarctic Mode Water Formation Regions
Abstract Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW) plays a vital role in the uptake of heat and carbon, thereby regulating global climate. Mesoscale eddies affect mode‐water subduction and transport in the Southern Ocean. However, it remains unclear how SAMW‐related eddy activity will evolve under anthropogenic warming, because most state‐of‐the‐art climate ...

Abstract The El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) predictability has notably declined since the 1998–2013 global warming hiatus, challenging conventional sea surface temperature (SST)‐based forecast models. We identify sea surface salinity (SSS) as a critical yet underappreciated driver for restoring ENSO forecast skill post‐hiatus.
