Mechanisms of physical-biological-biogeochemical interaction at the oceanic mesoscale

DJ McGillicuddy Jr - Annual Review of Marine Science, 2016 - annualreviews.org
Mesoscale phenomena are ubiquitous and highly energetic features of ocean circulation.
Their influence on biological and biogeochemical processes varies widely, stemming not …

Bringing physics to life at the submesoscale

M Lévy, R Ferrari, PJS Franks… - Geophysical …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
A common dynamical paradigm is that turbulence in the upper ocean is dominated by three
classes of motion: mesoscale geostrophic eddies, internal waves and microscale three …

Regional variations in the influence of mesoscale eddies on near‐surface chlorophyll

P Gaube, DJ McGillicuddy Jr… - Journal of …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Eddies can influence biogeochemical cycles through a variety of mechanisms, including the
excitation of vertical velocities and the horizontal advection of nutrients and ecosystems …

A satellite-based lagrangian view on phytoplankton dynamics

Y Lehahn, F d'Ovidio, I Koren - Annual review of marine science, 2018 - annualreviews.org

A new assessment of mesoscale eddies in the South China Sea: Surface features, three‐dimensional structures, and thermohaline transports

Q He, H Zhan, S Cai, Y He, G Huang… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract By analyzing 22 years (1993–2015) of daily eddy data, statistics of surface eddy
properties were refreshed in the South China Sea. More than 7,000 of historical Argo …

Intense submesoscale upwelling in anticyclonic eddies

L Brannigan - Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Observations from around the global ocean show that enhanced biological activity can be
found in anticyclonic eddies. This may mean that upwelling of nutrient‐rich water occurs …
