Parameterizing Submesoscale Vertical Buoyancy Flux by Simultaneously Considering Baroclinic Instability and Strain‐Induced Frontogenesis

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Oceanic submesoscale processes (submesoscales) with O(1–10) km horizontal scale can generate strong vertical buoyancy flux (VBF) that significantly modulate upper‐ocean stratification.

Isopycnal Pathway for Small‐Particle Export in a Decaying Cyclonic Eddy Revealed by a BGC‐Argo Float

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Mesoscale eddies influence carbon export through production, subduction, mixing, and particle redistribution. In this study, a BGC‐Argo float observed a deep particle layer in the twilight zone during the decay of a cyclonic eddy in the Northwest Pacific.

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

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

Asymmetric Particle Aggregation in Ocean Eddies Driven by Eddy‐Wind Interactions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Mesoscale eddies, prevalent across the global ocean, play a crucial role in the transport and mixing of climate‐sensitive tracers such as heat, salt, and nutrients. While traditional quasi‐geostrophic theory predicts symmetric kinematics and equivalent material transport by cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies, our analysis of satellite altimeter ...

3D Atmospheric Imprint of Mesoscale Eddies Driven by the Thermal Feedback in the Gulf Stream Region

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract The 3D imprint of mesoscale ocean eddies on the overlying atmosphere is investigated using coupled ocean‐atmosphere high‐resolution simulation of the Gulf Stream region, distinguishing cyclones and anticyclones. Sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies are predominantly warm for anticyclones and cold for cyclones, driving a Thermal Feedback ...

Mesoscale and Submesoscale Processes in the Southeast Atlantic and Their Impact on the Regional Thermohaline Structure [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2018
AbstractThe turbulent processes in the Cape Basin, the southeasternmost gate of the Atlantic Ocean, play a key role in the transport and mixing of upper to intermediate water masses entering the area from the Indian Ocean, making them especially relevant for the Indo‐Atlantic transfer of heat and salt.

On the Impact of Submesoscale Fronts on Mesoscale Eddies and Biological Productivity in the California Current System [PDF]

, 2021
Submesoscale motions are often not resolved in numerical models, although recent studies suggest that they interact with mesoscale processes. This might be particularly relevant for regions like the California Current System (CCS) where mesoscale ...

An advanced towed CTD chain for physical-biological high resolution in situ upper ocean measurements

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Submesoscale eddies, fronts, and filaments are ubiquitous in the upper ocean and play an important role in biogeochemical and mixing processes as well as in the energy budget.
