Estuarine and coastal geomorphology, biogeochemistry, water quality, and coastal food
webs in river-dominated shelves of the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) are modulated by transport …

Predicting the distribution of oil, buoyant plastics, flotsam, and marine organisms near the
ocean surface remains a fundamental problem of practical importance. This manuscript …

The geographical variability, frequency content, and vertical structure of near‐surface
oceanic kinetic energy (KE) are important for air‐sea interaction, marine ecosystems …

Abstract Over the Texas-Louisiana Shelf in the Northern Gulf of Mexico, the eutrophic, fresh
Mississippi/Atchafalaya river plume isolates saltier waters below, supporting the formation of …

This study investigates the dynamics and diurnal variations of submesoscale motions
around an anticyclonic eddy with a cold core using observations and simulations. Glider …

Submesoscale circulations influence momentum, buoyancy and transport of biological
tracers and pollutants within the upper turbulent layer. How much and how far into the water …

Oceanic fronts with lateral scales less than 20 km are now known to be one of the major
contributors to vertical heat fluxes in the global ocean, which highlights their potential impact …

The circulation in a shallow lagoon–inlet–coastal ocean system is significant to material
transports (eg, debris, pollutants, and larvae). To study surface flows in this system, we …

Horizontal kinematic properties, such as vorticity, divergence, and lateral strain rate, are
estimated from drifter clusters using three approaches. At submesoscale horizontal length …

Studies regarding oceanic mesoscale and submesoscale processes and their impact on
chlorophyll are mainly confined to weeks to decadal time scales. Based on biogeochemical …
