Antisymmetry of oceanic eddies across the Kuroshio over a shelfbreak
Scientific Reports, 2017 From the analysis of oceanic eddies detected in the drifter trajectories of the Global Drifter Program (GDP) data set, it was found that oceanic eddies are asymmetrically distributed across the Kuroshio in the East China Sea: predominant cyclonic ...

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 ...

Eddy-driven nutrient transport and associated upper-ocean primary production along the Kuroshio [PDF]
, 2017 The Kuroshio is one of the most energetic western boundary currents accompanied by vigorous eddy activity both on mesoscale and submesoscale, which affects biogeochemical processes in the upper ocean. We examine the primary production around the Kuroshio

Overturning of Mixed Layer Eddies in a Submesoscale-Resolving Simulation of the North Atlantic
To study submesoscale instabilities in the ocean mixed layer, this study uses the novel Icosahedral Nonhydrostatic (ICON)-Submesoscale Telescope (SMT) configuration that exploits a telescoping grid refinement to achieve a horizontal resolution finer than

Baroclinic Submesoscale Eddies in the Ross Ice Shelf Cavity Alter Heat Pathways to the Ice Base
Geophysical Research LettersThe influence of baroclinic submesoscale eddies on basal melting beneath Ross Ice Shelf remains poorly understood. We analyzed a 4.5‐year mooring record from the central cavity and identified seven eddy‐like events from variability in density, velocity ...

Importance of strains in kinetic energy flux for submesoscale processes from an anisotropic perspective [PDF]
Submesoscale fronts and filaments are jet-like motions, associated with cross-scale kinetic energy (KE) flux through eddy-mean flow interaction. However, the diagnostic method for KE flux in jets with a steady zonal flow axis is not suitable for ...

Asymmetries in Anticyclone Catalyze Submesoscale Motions
Geophysical Research LettersOceanic mesoscale eddies are often asymmetric, exhibiting horizontal deformation and vertical tilt, yet the implications of these structural asymmetries for finer‐scale dynamics remain poorly understood.

Balanced to Unbalanced Motions at a Submesoscale Front and Energy Transfer From Eddy Splitting
Geophysical Research LettersSubmesoscale dynamics play a crucial role in energy redistribution in the upper ocean but remain challenging to observe due to their small spatial and temporal scales.
