This article is a perspective on the recently discovered realm of submesoscale currents in
the ocean. They are intermediate-scale flow structures in the form of density fronts and …

Turbulent mixing from breaking oceanic internal waves drives a vertical transport of water,
heat and other climatically important tracers in the ocean, thereby playing an important role …

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 …

Oceanic mesoscale eddies with horizontal scales of 50–300 km are the most energetic form
of flows in the ocean. They are the oceanic analogues of atmospheric storms and are …

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 …

A global estimate of the energy conversion rate from geostrophic flows into internal lee
waves in the ocean is presented. The estimate is based on a linear theory applied to bottom …

The ocean circulation is forced at a global scale by winds and fluxes of heat and fresh water.
Kinetic energy is dissipated at much smaller scales in the turbulent boundary layers and in …

Ocean eddies generated through instability of the mean flow are a vital component of the
energy budget of the global ocean,,. In equilibrium, the sources and sinks of eddy energy …
