Submesoscale Eddy Contribution to Ocean Vertical Heat Flux Diagnosed From Airborne Observations

Geophysical Research Letters
Submesoscale eddies (those smaller than 50 km) are ubiquitous throughout the ocean, as revealed by satellite infrared images. Diagnosing their impact on ocean energetics from observations remains a challenge.

Global climatology of submesoscale restratification using machine learning

Scientific Reports
Submesoscale eddies are important in setting the stratification in the ocean surface mixed layer and transporting energy between large and small scale motions. However, the study of submesoscale on a global scale has been hindered by a shortage of global,

Isopycnal Submesoscale Stirring Crucially Sustaining Subsurface Chlorophyll Maximum in Ocean Cyclonic Eddies

Geophysical Research Letters
Mesoscale and submesoscale processes have crucial impacts on ocean biogeochemistry, importantly enhancing the primary production in nutrient‐deficient ocean regions. Yet, the intricate biophysical interplay still holds mysteries.

Mesoscale and submesoscale variability of organic matter in island-induced eddies across their life cycle: implications for the biological carbon pump

Frontiers in Marine Science
The Canary Islands region exhibits intense mesoscale activity, with eddies generated south the islands by perturbations of the Canary Current. After detachment, these eddies drift southwestward along the Canary Eddy Corridor (CEC), exporting their ...

Spatiotemporal Distribution of Submesoscale Eddies with Updated Interferometric Imaging Radar Altimeter Data

Journal of Remote Sensing
Submesoscale eddies (SEs) represent a potent force driving ocean vertical motion. However, the resolution limitations of conventional satellite data hinder the observation of smaller SEs.
