Submesoscale dynamics in the upper ocean
JR Taylor, AF Thompson - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - annualreviews.org
Oceanic motions with spatial scales of 200 m–20 km, called submesoscales, are ubiquitous
in the upper ocean and serve as a key intermediary between larger-scale balanced …

Seasonality of the submesoscale dynamics in the Gulf Stream region
Frontogenesis and frontal instabilities in the mixed layer are known to be important
processes in the formation of submesoscale features. We study the seasonality of such …

Quantifying habitat use and preferences of pelagic seabirds using individual movement data: a review
Colonial seabirds are relatively easy to observe, count, measure and manipulate, and
consequently have long been used as models for testing ecological hypotheses. A …

Seasonality of submesoscale flows in the ocean surface boundary layer
CE Buckingham, AC Naveira Garabato… - Geophysical …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
A signature of submesoscale flows in the upper ocean is skewness in the distribution of
relative vorticity. Expected to result for high Rossby number flows, such skewness has …

The scale of submesoscale baroclinic instability globally
The spatial scale of submesoscales is an important parameter for studies of submesoscale
dynamics and multiscale interactions. The horizontal spatial scales of baroclinic, geostrophic …

Broad impacts of fine-scale dynamics on seascape structure from zooplankton to seabirds
In marine ecosystems, like most natural systems, patchiness is the rule. A characteristic of
pelagic ecosystems is that their 'substrate'consists of constantly moving water masses …
