Ocean ventilation is the transfer of tracers and young water from the surface down into the
ocean interior. The tracers that can be transported to depth include anthropogenic heat and …

Irreversible mixing of tracers and momentum in the ocean occurs via diffusion and friction at
the scale of molecules. That such molecular processes profoundly influence basin-scale …

Ocean overturning circulation requires a continuous thermodynamic transformation of the
buoyancy of seawater. The steeply sloping isopycnals of the Southern Ocean provide a …

Mesoscale eddies are ubiquitous features in the Southern Ocean, yet their phenomenology
is not well quantified. To tackle this task, we use satellite observations of sea level …

An approximate mass (volume) budget in the surface layer of the Southern Ocean is used to
investigate the intensity and regional variability of the ventilation process, discussed here in …

Suppression of Eddy Diffusivity across Jets in the Southern Ocean in: Journal of Physical

Velocities derived from AVISO sea‐surface height observations, adjusted to be
nondivergent, are used to simulate the evolution of passive tracers at the ocean surface …

An eddy-resolving numerical model of a zonal flow, meant to resemble the Antarctic
Circumpolar Current, is described and analyzed using the framework of J. Marshall and T …

Mixing by mesoscale eddies profoundly impacts climate and ecosystems by redistributing
and storing dissolved tracers such as heat and carbon. Eddy mixing is parameterized in …

In recent decades, great progress has been made in our understanding of zonal jets across
many subjects-atmospheric science, oceanography, planetary science, geophysical fluid …
