Generation Mechanisms of Mesoscale Eddies in the Mauritanian Upwelling Region
(2022)The physical processes driving the genesis of surface- and subsurface-intensified cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies originating from the coastal current system of the Mauritanian upwelling region are investigated using a ... -

Observations of Strongly Modulated Surface Wave and Wave Breaking Statistics at a Submesoscale Front
(2022)Ocean submesoscale currents, with spatial scales on the order of 0.1–10 km, are horizontally divergent flows, leading to vertical motions that are crucial for modulating the fluxes of mass, momentum, and energy between the ... -
On the Discrete Normal Modes of Quasigeostrophic Theory
(2022)The discrete baroclinic modes of quasigeostrophic theory are incomplete, and the incompleteness manifests as a loss of information in the projection process. The incompleteness of the baroclinic modes is related to the ... -
A Four-Dimensional Survey of the Almeria–Oran Front by Underwater Gliders: Tracers and Circulation
(2022)A four-dimensional survey by a fleet of seven underwater gliders was used to identify pathways of subduction at the Almeria–Oran Front in the western Mediterranean Sea. The combined glider fleet covered nearly 9000 km over ... -
Bathymetric Control of Subpolar Gyres and the Overturning Circulation in the Southern Ocean
(2022)The subpolar gyres of the Southern Ocean form an important dynamical link between the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) and the coastline of Antarctica. Despite their key involvement in the production and export of bottom ... -
Double Diffusion, Shear Instabilities, and Heat Impacts of a Pacific Summer Water Intrusion in the Beaufort Sea
(2022)Pacific Summer Water eddies and intrusions transport heat and salt from boundary regions into the western Arctic basin. Here we examine concurrent effects of lateral stirring and vertical mixing using microstructure data ... -

Export of Ice Sheet Meltwater from Upernavik Fjord, West Greenland
(2022)Meltwater from Greenland is an important freshwater source for the North Atlantic Ocean, released into the ocean at the head of fjords in the form of runoff, submarine melt, and icebergs. The meltwater release gives rise ... -
The Role of Atlantic Basin Geometry in Meridional Overturning Circulation
(2022)We present idealized simulations to explore how the shape of eastern and western continental boundaries along the Atlantic Ocean influences the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). We use a state-of-the art ... -
Reduction in Meridional Heat Export Contributes to Recent Indian Ocean Warming
(2022)Since 2000, the Indian Ocean has warmed more rapidly than the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans. Air–sea fluxes alone cannot explain the rapid Indian Ocean warming, which has so far been linked to an increase in temperature ... -
Winter Convective Mixing in the Northern Arabian Sea during Contrasting Monsoons
(2022)Along-track Argo observations in the northern Arabian Sea during 2017–19 showed by far the most contrasting winter convective mixing; 2017–18 was characterized by less intense convective mixing resulting in a mixed layer ... -
Divergence and Dispersion of Global Eddy Propagation from Satellite Altimetry
(2022)It is well understood that isolated eddies are presumed to propagate westward intrinsically at the speed of the annual baroclinic Rossby wave. This classic description, however, is known to be frequently violated in both ... -
Characteristics of Wind-Generated Near-Inertial Waves in the Southeast Indian Ocean
(2022)This study presents the characteristics and spatiotemporal structure of near-inertial waves and their interaction with Leeuwin Current eddies in the eastern south Indian Ocean as observed by Electromagnetic Autonomous ... -
Oceanic Advection Controls Mesoscale Mixed Layer Heat Budget and Air–Sea Heat Exchange in the Southern Ocean
(2022)We analyze the role of mesoscale heat advection in a mixed layer (ML) heat budget, using a regional high-resolution coupled model with realistic atmospheric forcing and an idealized ocean component. The model represents ... -
