Numerical modelling of submesoscale processes in an idealized coupled estuary-shelf system off Hong Kong

, 2019
We conduct a numerical simulation on an idealized estuary-shelf system to investigate submesoscale processes under multiple forcing of winds, buoyancy from river runoff and tides.

Airborne Remote Sensing of Concurrent Submesoscale Dynamics and Phytoplankton

Earth and Space Science
Submesoscale dynamics can induce significant vertical fluxes of phytoplankton, nutrients, and carbon, resulting in biological and climatological impacts such as enhanced phytoplankton production, phytoplankton community shifts, and carbon export. However,

Asymmetries in Anticyclone Catalyze Submesoscale Motions

Geophysical Research Letters
Oceanic 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.

Response of the thermohaline front and associated submesoscale features in the Korea Strait to wind variation during autumn

Frontiers in Marine Science
In the present study, a three-dimensional numerical simulation with a 1 km grid spacing is conducted to investigate the response of the thermohaline front in the northern Korea Strait (KS) and its associated submesoscale features to wind variation.

A high-resolution temperature–salinity dataset observed by autonomous underwater vehicles for the evolution of mesoscale eddies and associated submesoscale processes in the South China Sea [PDF]

Earth System Science Data
Marginal seas are often characterized by dynamic mesoscale eddies (MEs), whose evolution plays a critical role in regulating global oceanic energy budgets, triggering submesoscale processes with strong vertical velocity, and facilitating biogeochemical ...

Submesoscale dynamics and transport properties in the Gulf of Mexico

, 2014
Submesoscale processes, characterized by O(1km) horizontal scale and O(1) Rossby number, are ubiquitous in the world ocean and play an important role in the vertical flux of mass, buoyancy and tracers in the upper ocean.

Seasonality of submesoscale dynamics in the Kuroshio Extension [PDF]

, 2016
Recent studies show that the vigorous seasonal cycle of the mixed layer modulates upper ocean submesoscale turbulence. Here we provide model‐based evidence that the seasonally changing upper ocean stratification in the Kuroshio Extension also modulates ...

Asymmetry of Submesoscale Instabilities in Anticyclonic and Cyclonic Eddies

Geophysical Research Letters
The upper‐ocean relative vorticity has been found to be cyclonically skewed, but altimetry observations indicate that long‐lifespan mesoscale eddies tend to be anticyclonic.
