Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Submesoscale oceanic structures (<10-20 km) such as eddies and fronts are often difficult to describe given the influence of the mesoscale. In order to characterize the surface signatures of submesoscale structures, we utilize a custom spatial ...

Asymmetric Particle Aggregation in Ocean Eddies Driven by Eddy‐Wind Interactions
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.Abstract Mesoscale eddies, prevalent across the global ocean, play a crucial role in the transport and mixing of climate‐sensitive tracers such as heat, salt, and nutrients. While traditional quasi‐geostrophic theory predicts symmetric kinematics and equivalent material transport by cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies, our analysis of satellite altimeter ...

Submesoscale Vertical Heat Flux Amplifies a Cross‐Scale Positive Feedback in the Western Arabian Sea
Geophysical Research LettersHigh‐resolution simulations reveal that summer monsoon‐induced upwelling in the western Arabian Sea triggers vigorous submesoscale vertical heat flux (SVHF), challenging the conventional view of winter‐dominant submesoscale activity in open‐ocean ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Oceanic submesoscale processes (submesoscales) with O(1–10) km horizontal scale can generate strong vertical buoyancy flux (VBF) that significantly modulate upper‐ocean stratification.

Marine Litter Windrows: A Strategic Target to Understand and Manage the Ocean Plastic Pollution
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Windrow is a long-established term for the aggregations of seafoam, seaweeds, plankton and natural debris that appear on the ocean surface. Here, we define a “litter windrow” as any aggregation of floating litter at the submesoscale domain (<10 km ...

3D Atmospheric Imprint of Mesoscale Eddies Driven by the Thermal Feedback in the Gulf Stream Region
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.Abstract The 3D imprint of mesoscale ocean eddies on the overlying atmosphere is investigated using coupled ocean‐atmosphere high‐resolution simulation of the Gulf Stream region, distinguishing cyclones and anticyclones. Sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies are predominantly warm for anticyclones and cold for cyclones, driving a Thermal Feedback ...

Steric‐Setup Effects on US East Coast Sea‐Level Change
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.Abstract The extent to which coastal sea levels co‐vary with open‐ocean variability is explored through evaluation of a balanced dynamics framework relating sea level with pressure, density, and velocity along the continental shelf and slope seafloor.

Separating Mesoscale and Submesoscale Flows from Clustered Drifter Trajectories
Fluids, 2020 Drifters deployed in close proximity collectively provide a unique observational data set with which to separate mesoscale and submesoscale flows. In this paper we provide a principled approach for doing so by fitting observed velocities to a local ...

Nonlinear Release of Subinertial Diurnal Internal Tides Forms Spiral Internal Solitary Waves
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.Abstract Earth's rotation imposes a dynamical barrier on the free propagation of internal tides at high latitudes, raising questions about the fate of tidal energy poleward of the critical latitude. Satellite observations reveal spiral internal solitary waves (ISWs) along the continental slope of the South Orkney Plateau.
