Mesoscale eddies affect phytoplankton in several ways, including the horizontal dispersal
and mixing of populations. Coherent eddies trap and contain fluid masses, whereas other …

We identify effective carriers of Sargassum in the Caribbean Sea and describe a mechanism
for coastal choking. Revealed from satellite altimetry, the carriers of Sargassum are …

The Loop Current (LC) system dynamics are an essential component of the processes
influencing circulation and transport in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). The LC evolution is …

The three-dimensional structure of Gulf of Mexico's warm-core rings, detaching from the
Loop Current, is investigated using satellite altimetry and a large set of ARGO float profiles …

Ocean eddies play an important role in the transport and mixing processes of the ocean due
to their ability to transport material, heat, salt, and other tracers across large distances. They …

Mesoscale eddies are a well-recognized feature of the global oceans, being of dynamical
relevance to various ocean processes and of significance to transport of various species. In …

Abstract The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) is home to some of the most energetic eddies in the
ocean. Warm‐core rings detach from the Loop‐Current and drift through the basin …

Numerical circulation modeling and observational studies have been conducted to
understand the Loop Current (LC) system behaviors in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). One of the …

Consistent with satellite‐tracked trajectories of drogued drifters, but at odds with Eulerian
assessment of satellite‐altimetry measurements of sea‐surface height, we show that North …

Finite‐time coherent sets (FTCSs) are distinguished regions of phase space that resist
mixing with the surrounding space for some finite period of time; physical manifestations …
