Eddy characteristics in the northern South China Sea as inferred from Lagrangian drifter data [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2011 Cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies from large scale to submesoscale in the northern South China Sea (NSCS) have been statistically characterized based on the satellite-tracked Lagrangian drifters using our developed geometric eddy identification method ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Submesoscale processes in the ocean vary rapidly in both space and time, and are often difficult to capture by field observations. Their dynamical connection with marine biology remains largely unknown because of the intrinsic link between temporal and ...

Submesoscale oceanic eddy detection in SAR images using context and edge association network
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Oceanic eddies have a non-negligible impact on ocean energy transfer, nutrient distribution, and biological migration in global oceans. The fine detection of oceanic eddies is significant for the development of marine science.

Mesoscale Eddy Dissipation by a “Zoo” of Submesoscale Processes at a Western Boundary [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2020 AbstractMesoscale eddies are ubiquitous dynamical features that tend to propagate westward and disappear along ocean western boundaries. Using a multiscale observational study, we assess the extent to which eddies dissipate via a direct cascade of energy at a western boundary. We analyze data from a ship‐based microstructure and velocity survey, and an

OBSERVING SURFACE CIRCULATION OF THE WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN BASIN WITH SATELLITE IMAGERY [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2017 In this article, the benefits of using satellite imagery of different types (namely thermal infrared, visible-range, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images) for observing surface circulation of marine basins are being discussed.

Intense submesoscale upwelling in anticyclonic eddies [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 AbstractObservations from around the global ocean show that enhanced biological activity can be found in anticyclonic eddies. This may mean that upwelling of nutrient‐rich water occurs within the eddy, but such upwelling is not captured by models that resolve mesoscale processes.

A submesoscale coherent eddy in the Greenland Sea in 2003 [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2006 Submesoscale Coherent Vortices (SCVs) have been observed earlier in the Greenland Sea, but their overall characteristics, the formation and the dissolution mechanisms, and the effects on the large‐scale hydrodynamics were not well understood. In order to improve the understanding of these features, a simultaneous investigation of hydrography, chemical ...

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 ...

Equatorial Submesoscale Eddies Contribute to the Asymmetry in ENSO Amplitude
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Abstract El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) exhibits evident amplitude asymmetry with stronger El Niño than La Niña events. Equatorial submesoscale eddies act as an important damper of ENSO via their induced upward heat flux () from the subsurface to the surface ocean.
