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 …

Sea level and its horizontal gradient are an expression of oceanic volume, heat content, and
currents. Large‐scale currents have historically been viewed as mostly “baroclinic,” and …

Seasonal variability and the effect of bottom interaction on the dynamics of the along-slope
boundary current flowing around the Levantine Basin are investigated using nested high …

Submesoscale coherent vortices (SCVs) are a ubiquitous feature of topographic wakes in
the extratropical oceans. Recent studies demonstrate a mechanism wherein high-vorticity …

The barotropic vorticity (BV) balance is fundamental when interpreting the ocean gyre
circulation. Here we propose an intercomparison of vorticity equations for the depth …

A current along a sloping bottom gives rise to upwelling, or downwelling Ekman transport
within the stratified bottom boundary layer (BBL), also known as the bottom Ekman layer. In …

Gyres are prominent surface structures in the global ocean circulation that often interact with
the sea floor in a complex manner. Diagnostic methods, such as the depth‐integrated …

Intrathermocline eddies (ITEs), characterized by subsurface lens-shaped low potential
vorticity (PV), are pervasive in the ocean. However, the abundance and generation …

A variety of submesoscale coherent vortices (SCVs) in the Kuroshio Extension region have
been reported by recent observational studies, and the preliminary understanding of their …

The bottom boundary layer (BBL) dynamics play an important role in regulating the energy,
momentum balance, and circulation in the shallow shelf areas. Unlike previous studies that …
