Oceanic and atmospheric dynamics are often interpreted through potential vorticity, as this
quantity is conserved along the geostrophic flow. However, in addition to potential vorticity …

Mesoscale eddies modulate the stratification, mixing, tracer transport, and dissipation
pathways of oceanic flows over a wide range of spatiotemporal scales. The parameterization …

continuum modeling in HYCOM and MITgcm. New Frontiers in Operational Oceanography …

A new method is proposed for extrapolating subsurface velocity and density fields from sea
surface density and sea surface height (SSH). In this, the surface density is linked to the …

Utilizing the framework of effective surface quasigeostrophic (eSQG) theory, this study
explores the potential of reconstructing the 3D upper-ocean circulation structures, including …

Velocity data from 81 globally-distributed current meters are used to characterize the vertical
structure of ocean current fluctuations. The primary empirical orthogonal functions from most …

Using observations and theoretical models, a substantial topographic modulation on the
quasigeostrophic (QG) dynamics, which results in a primary surface mode distinct from the …

Spectra and fluxes of enstrophy and kinetic energy (KE) are estimated in different parts of
the midlatitudinal oceans using geostrophic currents derived from altimetry data. The …

Isopycnal mixing of tracers is important for ocean dynamics and biogeochemistry. Previous
studies have primarily focused on the horizontal structure of mixing, but what controls its …
