Simulated larvae dispersion of the invasive sun-coral (Tubastrea spp.) along Rio de Janeiro's coast: The role of submesoscale filaments on offshore transport and connectivity.

PLoS ONE
The spread of invasive species in marine ecosystems is a growing global concern, particularly in regions with high economic and ecological importance. Sun corals (Tubastraea spp.) are native scleractinians from the Pacific Ocean that have spread along ...

Observed rapid adjustment of the atmospheric boundary layer to submesoscale sea surface temperature fronts

Current understanding of the role of ocean variability in air–sea exchange is constrained to large and mesoscale dynamics. Oceanic fronts and filaments with horizontal spatial scales of order 0.1 to 10 km—denoted submesoscale—are ...

Submesoscale Eddies Buffer the Atlantic Niño/Niña Weakening Under Greenhouse Warming

Geophysical Research Letters
The Atlantic Niño/Niña is a leading mode of tropical climate variability with profound global environmental and socioeconomic impacts. Conventionally, its variability is projected to weaken under greenhouse warming, primarily attributed to suppressed ...

Evaluating SWOT-Derived Surface Quasi-Geostrophic Currents With HF Radar Observations

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
High-resolution sea surface height from the surface water and ocean topography (SWOT) mission provide a unique opportunity to investigate submesoscale ocean dynamics, yet the accuracy of surface current reconstructions from real SWOT measurements remains

Multicore structures of oceanic mesoscale eddies

Environmental Research Letters
Mesoscale eddies observed in coarse-resolution data typically appear with a single center. However, recent altimetry observations of Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) reveal many eddies own multicore structures.

Mesoscale and submesoscale variability of organic matter in island-induced eddies across their life cycle: implications for the biological carbon pump

Frontiers in Marine Science
The Canary Islands region exhibits intense mesoscale activity, with eddies generated south the islands by perturbations of the Canary Current. After detachment, these eddies drift southwestward along the Canary Eddy Corridor (CEC), exporting their ...

Mesoscale to submesoscale transition in the California current system. Part III: Energy balance and flux

, 2008
International audienceThis is the last of a suite of three papers about the transition that occurs in numerical simulations for an idealized equilibrium, subtropical, eastern-boundary upwelling current system similar to the California Current.

Spatial and Seasonal Controls on Eddy Subduction in the Southern Ocean

Geophysical Research Letters
Carbon export driven by submesoscale, eddy‐associated vertical velocities (“eddy subduction”), and particularly its seasonality, remains understudied, leaving a gap in our understanding of ocean carbon sequestration.

Distribution, Mixing, and Transformation of a Loop Current Ring Waters: The Case of Gulf of Mexico

Geophysical Research Letters
Mesoscale warm‐core rings, known as Loop Current rings (LCRs) reshape the Gulf of Mexico water masses by redistributing large amounts of heat and salt laterally.
