Oceanic mesoscale eddies contribute important horizontal heat and salt transports on a
global scale. Here we show that eddy transports are mainly due to individual eddy …

Amongst the variety of oceanic processes running the gamut of spatiotemporal scales,
mesoscale eddies are the most common and often have region-specific characteristics. The …

In the four major Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS), mesoscale eddies are
known to modulate the biological productivity and transport near‐coastal seawater …

There are two zonal bands of eminently high eddy kinetic energy (EKE) in the North Pacific
Ocean. The highest one is located in the Kuroshio Extension and the second one is in the …

Eddy activity has been examined in many regions of the world ocean. However, the
mechanism behind interannual variability of mesoscale eddies remains uncertain. Although …

Last decade has witnessed extensive studies on mesoscale oceanic eddies in the Southern
China Sea (SCS), however most of these studies are focused on the surface eddies, and …

By analyzing satellite observational data and ocean general circulation model experiments,
this study investigates the key processes that determine the spatial distribution and …

Oceanic mesoscale cyclonic (anticyclonic) eddies usually have cold (warm) cores and
counterclockwise (clockwise) flow fields in the Northern Hemisphere. However,“abnormal” …

Abstract The Kuroshio Extension region is well known for its strong eddy activity. In this
paper, using satellite altimetry‐measured sea surface height anomaly data from 1993 to …

The highest sea level near the Xisha Islands in recent 20 years occurred during August
2010. Satellite altimeter data indicated that the extreme event was largely due to an …
