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

Submesoscale inverse energy cascade enhances Southern Ocean eddy heat transport [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2023
Oceanic eddy-induced meridional heat transport (EHT) is an important process in the Southern Ocean heat budget, the variability of which significantly modulates global meridional overturning circulation (MOC) and Antarctic sea-ice extent.

Oceanic eddy with submesoscale edge drives intense air-sea exchanges and beyond [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Oceanic mesoscale eddies influence air-sea interaction and atmosphere dynamics through ventilating heat and moisture upward. However, whether the sea surface temperature (SST) gradient on the eddy edge could affect the heat and moisture release is still ...

Multiscale energetics and submesoscale instabilities of eddy shedding at the Kuroshio loop current in the South China Sea [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The multiscale energetics and submesoscale instabilities after the eddy shedding of Kuroshio Loop Current (KLC) intrusion into the South China Sea (SCS) remain ambiguous.

Submesoscale Eddy induced nitrate upwelling and effect on biological production in the upstream Kuroshio Current [PDF]

Scientific Reports
While the Kuroshio, a western boundary current in the North Pacific, transports a large amount of nutrients in dark subsurface layers, it remains elusive whether and how these subsurface nutrients are supplied to continental shelves along southern coast ...

Efficient biological carbon export to the mesopelagic ocean induced by submesoscale fronts [PDF]

Nature Communications
Oceanic submesoscale processes are ubiquitous in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG), where the biological carbon pump is generally ineffective.

Warm rings in mesoscale eddies in a cold straining ocean [PDF]

Nature Communications
The warm and saline Atlantic Water has long been recognized as being subjected to substantial heat loss during its transit towards the polar regions.

Modulation of Phytoplankton Uptake by Mesoscale and Submesoscale Eddies in the California Current System

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.

The Characteristics of Submesoscale Eddies Near the Coastal Regions of Eastern Japan: Insights From Sentinel-1 Imagery

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
A 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 ...
