Life in the ocean relies on the photosynthetic production of phytoplankton, which is
influenced by the availability of light and nutrients that are modulated by a host of physical …

The ocean circulation is a cause and consequence of fluid scale interactions ranging from
millimeters to more than 10,000 km. Although the wind field produces a large energy input to …

The motivation to study the vertical exchanges of tracers associated with mesoscale eddies
is that the mean concentration of most oceanic tracers changes rapidly with depth. Because …

Satellite observations of the last two decades have led to a major breakthrough emphasizing
the existence of a strongly energetic mesoscale turbulent eddy field in all the oceans. This …

Wavenumber spectra of along‐track Sea Surface Height from the most recent satellite radar
altimetry missions [Jason‐2, Cryosat‐2, and SARAL/Altika) are used to determine the size of …

Oceanic and atmospheric dynamics are often interpreted through potential vorticity, as this
quantity is conserved along the geostrophic flow. However, in addition to potential vorticity …

The necessary adaptations to large eddy simulation (LES) methods so that they can be used
in mesoscale ocean large eddy simulations (MOLES)—where the gridscale lies just below …

Oceanic submesoscale ageostrophic processes have been progressively recognized as an
important upwelling mechanism to close the nutrient budget and sustain the observed …

continuum modeling in HYCOM and MITgcm. New Frontiers in Operational Oceanography …

In this paper, we examine the emerging potential offered by satellite microwave radiometer
SST measurements to complement altimeter data to quantitatively derive surface ocean …
