We revisit the challenges and prospects for ocean circulation models following Griffies et al..
Over the past decade, ocean circulation models evolved through improved understanding …

Floating oil, plastics, and marine organisms are continually redistributed by ocean surface
currents. Prediction of their resulting distribution on the surface is a fundamental, long …

Estuarine and coastal geomorphology, biogeochemistry, water quality, and coastal food
webs in river-dominated shelves of the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) are modulated by transport …

Oceanic surface submesoscale currents are characterized by anisotropic fronts and
filaments with widths from 100 m to a few kilometers; an O (1) Rossby number; and large …

Horizontal and vertical motions associated with mesoscale (10–100 km) and submesoscale
(1–10 km) features, such as fronts, meanders, eddies, and filaments, play a critical role in …

Realistic, submesoscale-resolving numerical simulations are used to characterize the flow's
statistics and the geography of surface submesoscale currents in the northern Gulf of …

Coastal ocean ecosystems are major contributors to the global biogeochemical cycles and
biological productivity. Physical factors induced by the turbulent flow play a crucial role in …

Measuring vertical motions represent a challenge as they are typically 3–4 orders of
magnitude smaller than the horizontal velocities. Here, we show that surface vertical …
