A holistic review is given of the Southern Ocean dynamic system, in the context of the crucial
role it plays in the global climate and the profound changes it is experiencing. The review …

The submesoscale energy budget is complex and remains understood only in region-by-
region analyses. Based on a series of nested numerical simulations, this study investigated …

Depth‐averaged eddy buoyancy diffusivities across continental shelves and slopes are
investigated using a suite of eddy‐resolving, process‐oriented simulations of prograde …

Ocean circulation is dominated by turbulent geostrophic eddy fields with typical scales
ranging from 10 to 300 km. At mesoscales (> 50 km), the size of eddy structures varies …

Mesoscale cyclonic eddies are known to be highly productive. Less well‐known are the
dynamics and productivity of smaller cyclonic eddies, known as frontal eddies, that form on …

Chaigneau, A., ML Texier, G. Eldin, C. Grados, and O. Pizarro, 2011: Vertical structure of
mesoscale eddies in the eastern south Pacific ocean: A composite analysis from altimetry …

Inverse Cascades of Kinetic Energy as a Source of Intrinsic Variability: A Global OGCM

Mesoscale eddy mixing profoundly modulates the ocean tracer budgets, and is typically
parameterized via the isopycnal eddy diffusivity in ocean climate models. However …

The processes that contribute to the flat sea surface height (SSH) wavenumber spectral
slopes observed in the tropics by satellite altimetry are examined in the tropical Pacific. 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 …
