Restratification of Abyssal Mixing Layers by Submesoscale Baroclinic Eddies [PDF]

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2018
AbstractFor small-scale turbulence to achieve water mass transformation and thus affect the large-scale overturning circulation, it must occur in stratified water. Observations show that abyssal turbulence is strongly enhanced in the bottom few hundred meters in regions with rough topography, and it is thought that these abyssal mixing layers are ...

A Satellite‐Based Estimate of the Contribution of Filamentary Structures to Lateral Carbon Transport in the Pacific and Atlantic Upwelling Systems

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Cross‐shelf interactions and the associated lateral transport of organic carbon remain poorly quantified and constrained by observations, despite their importance for the ocean carbon cycle. Filaments generated by instabilities of coastal currents are one pathway for this exchange, but their transport is difficult to observe at basin scales ...

Spatial and Seasonal Variations of Submesoscale Eddies in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean

, 2018
The spatial and seasonal variations of submesoscale eddy activities in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (2°–12°N, 95°–165°W) are investigated based on a 1/10° ocean general circulation model (OGCM).

Drivers of Plankton Distribution Across Mesoscale Eddies at Submesoscale Range

, 2020
Cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies are common mesoscale features in the flow past the Canary Islands throughout the year. While drifting southward, eddy pairs interact among them but also with upwelling filaments and eddies generated at the coastal jet of ...

Submesoscale Eddies Identified by SWOT and Their Comparison with Mesoscale Eddies in the Tropical Western Pacific

Remote Sensing
Conventional altimeter satellites, such as TOPEX/Poseidon and Jason series, can identify ocean mesoscale eddies (MEs) but cannot effectively distinguish submesoscale eddies (SMEs) due to horizontal resolution limitations. The emergence of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite has enabled the resolution (or detection) of SMEs.

Rapid changes in mixed layer stratification driven by submesoscale instabilities and winds

, 2008
Submesoscale eddies generated by baroclinic instability of upper ocean fronts lead to rapid restratification of the mixed layer on a time scale of days.

Airborne observations of fast-evolving ocean submesoscale turbulence

Communications Earth & Environment
Ocean images collected by astronauts onboard the Apollo spacecraft more than 50 years ago revealed a large number of ocean eddies, with a size between 1 and 20 km.

Eddy Detection in HF Radar-Derived Surface Currents in the Gulf of Naples

Remote Sensing, 2019
Submesoscale eddies play an important role in the energy transfer from the mesoscale down to the dissipative range, as well as in tracer transport. They carry inorganic matter, nutrients and biomass; in addition, they may act as pollutant conveyors ...

Deep learning detection of submesoscale eddies from MODIS SST in the South China Sea

GIScience & Remote Sensing
Submesoscale eddies play crucial roles in oceanic energy cascades and material transport; however, their detection faces substantial challenges owing to inadequate spatial resolution in traditional satellite altimetric measurements.
