Research on submesoscale eddy and front near the South Shetland Islands (Antarctic Peninsula) using seismic oceanography data [PDF]
, 2022 The submesoscale processes, including submesoscale eddies and fronts, have a strong vertical velocity, can thus make important supplements to the nutrients in the upper ocean.

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

Vertical Variations of Submesoscale Motions Between New Jersey Shelf and Bermuda
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Based on the measurements from the Oleander Project, the behaviors of submesoscale motions are examined in the area between New Jersey Shelf and Bermuda. The vertical variation of Rossby number, the kinetic energy in the submesoscale range, and the power

Eddy characteristics in the South Indian Ocean as inferred from surface drifters [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2015 Using a geometric eddy identification method, cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies from submesoscale to mesoscale in the South Indian Ocean (SIO) have been statistically investigated based on 2082 surface drifters from 1979 to 2013.

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 ...

The life cycle of submesoscale eddies generated by topographic interactions [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2019 Persian Gulf Water and Red Sea Water are salty and dense waters flowing at intermediate depths in the Gulf of Oman and the Gulf of Aden, respectively. Their spreading pathways are influence by mesoscale eddies that dominate the surface flow in both semi-enclosed basins.

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.
