A survey of submesoscale currents
JC McWilliams - Geoscience Letters, 2019 - Springer
Submesoscale currents are pervasive throughout the ocean. They have intermediate space
and time scales—neither mesoscale nor microscale—that have made them elusive for …

On the role of seamounts in upwelling deep-ocean waters through turbulent mixing
Turbulent mixing in the ocean exerts an important control on the rate and structure of the
overturning circulation. However, the balance of processes underpinning this mixing is …

[HTML][HTML] Submesoscale currents in the subtropical upper ocean observed by long-term high-resolution mooring arrays
Although observational efforts have been made to detect submesoscale currents
(submesoscales) in regions with deep mixed layers and/or strong mesoscale kinetic energy …

Spatiotemporal characteristics and generation mechanisms of submesoscale currents in the northeastern South China Sea revealed by numerical simulations
Although both geostrophic‐balanced mesoscale eddies and unbalanced small‐scale
processes have been well studied in the northeastern South China Sea (NE‐SCS), less …

Dampening of submesoscale currents by air-sea stress coupling in the Californian upwelling system
Oceanic submesoscale currents (SMCs) occur on an scale of 0.1–10 km horizontally and
have a large influence on the oceanic variability and on ecosystems. At the mesoscale (10 …

Submesoscale processes and mixing
In this chapter, we discuss the links between oceanic submesoscale (100 m–10 km)
processes and mixing. Submesoscale currents occur on lateral scales of 100 m–10 km in …

Understanding energy pathways in the Gulf Stream
M Contreras, L Renault… - Journal of Physical …, 2023 - journals.ametsoc.org
Abstract The Gulf Stream (GS) is one of the strongest ocean currents on the planet. Eddy-
rich resolution models are needed to properly represent the dynamics of the GS; however …

Submesoscale coherent vortices observed in the northeastern South China Sea
Although submesoscale coherent vortices (SCVs) have been observed in different parts of
the world's oceans, most of them were captured by accident by a limited number of …

Submesoscale ageostrophic motions within and below the mixed layer of the northwestern Pacific Ocean
H Cao, Z Jing - Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Submesoscale dynamics below the mixed layer (ML) and their mechanisms are still unclear.
