Submesoscale Eddies in the South China Sea [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 Submesoscale eddies are often seen in high‐resolution satellite‐derived ocean color images. To efficiently identify these eddies from surface chlorophyll data, here, we develop an automatic submesoscale eddy detection method and apply it to the South ...

Multi-Sensor Observations of Submesoscale Eddies in Coastal Regions [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2020 The temporal and spatial variation in submesoscale eddies in the coastal region of Lianyungang (China) is studied over a period of nearly two years with high-resolution (0.03°, about 3 km) observations of surface currents derived from high-frequency

The life cycle of submesoscale eddies generated by topographic interactions [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2019 Persian Gulf Water and Red Sea Water are salty and dense waters flowing at intermediate depths in the Gulf of Oman and the Gulf of Aden, respectively. Their spreading pathways are influence by mesoscale eddies that dominate the surface flow in both semi ...

Submesoscale Eddies Detected by SWOT and Moored Observations in the Northwestern Pacific
Geophysical Research LettersThe Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission provides a good opportunity to study fine‐scale processes in the global ocean but whether it can detect balanced submesoscale eddies is uncertain due to the “contamination” by unbalanced inertial ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Eddies play a crucial role in shaping ocean dynamics by affecting material transport, and generating spatio‐temporal heterogeneity. However, how eddies at different scales modulate biogeochemical transformation rates remains an open question.

Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringA long-term time series of 319 Sentinel-1 SAR Imagery with Interferometric Wide Swath (IW) mode was used to study the characteristics of submesoscale eddies over Japanese coastal regions from 2015 to 2021, including spatiotemporal eddy properties and ...

Asymmetry of Submesoscale Instabilities in Anticyclonic and Cyclonic Eddies
Geophysical Research LettersThe upper‐ocean relative vorticity has been found to be cyclonically skewed, but altimetry observations indicate that long‐lifespan mesoscale eddies tend to be anticyclonic.

Geophysical Research LettersSubmesoscale eddies are important horizontal transporters of oceanic heat, salt, and other tracers, and their transporting efficiency is described using an eddy diffusivity in analogy with molecular diffusion.

Eddy characteristics in the South Indian Ocean as inferred from surface drifters [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2015 Using a geometric eddy identification method, cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies from submesoscale to mesoscale in the South Indian Ocean (SIO) have been statistically investigated based on 2082 surface drifters from 1979 to 2013.

Ocean and Coastal Research, 2022 The SOund Fixing And Ranging (RAFOS) floats were deployed by the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) near California coast from 1992 to 2004 at depth between 150 and 600 m (http://www.oc.nps.edu/npsRAFOS/).
