The Agulhas Current with its retroflection and attendant eddy-shedding is the cause of some
of the greatest mesoscale variability in the ocean. This paper considers the area to the south …

Eleven years of satellite data on surface chlorophyll-a, wind, and altimetry were used to
analyze the spatial and temporal variability of the phytoplankton biomass in the Peru–Chile …

This paper provides a summary of recent results derived from satellite altimetry. It is focused
on altimetry and ocean dynamics with synergistic use of other remote sensing techniques, in …

Ocean storm tracks have previously been associated with the midlatitude western boundary
currents (WBCs) and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). Here we identify and …

Past work has shown that interannual California coastal sea level variability is mostly of
equatorial origin, and decades of satellite sea surface height (SSH) and in situ dynamic …

Intra-annual and interannual variability of satellite derived chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl)
is studied using wavelet analysis during 1997–2010 in tropical, subtropical and temperate …

Radar altimeter data from TOPEX/Poseidon and Jason-1 and microwave radiometer data
from TRMM/TMI are used to investigate the large-scale variability between 10.5° S and 35.5° …

The question of how energy is redistributed in the ocean has renewed the interest for the
processes leading to midlatitude subthermocline variability at low frequency. Here we …

An objective method to estimate westward propagation of sea surface height (SSH)
anomalies is introduced and compared to a subjective technique. Both approaches use time …

The present study proposes a new methodology to identify mesoscale eddies that are
ubiquitous in the ocean and can be observed in a variety of satellite images. Our focus is on …
