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 …

From microbes to large predators, there is increasing evidence that marine life is shaped by
short-lived submesoscales currents that are difficult to observe, model, and explain …

Recent studies highlight that oceanic motions associated with horizontal scales smaller than
50 km, defined here as submesoscales, lead to anomalous vertical heat fluxes from colder to …

Seasonality in Transition Scale from Balanced to Unbalanced Motions in the World Ocean in:
Journal of Physical Oceanography Volume 48 Issue 3 (2018) Jump to Content Jump to Main …

The ocean is the largest solar energy collector on Earth. The amount of heat it can store is
modulated by its complex circulation, which spans a broad range of spatial scales, from …

Recent studies show that the vigorous seasonal cycle of the mixed layer modulates upper
ocean submesoscale turbulence. Here we provide model‐based evidence that the …

Satellite observations of the last two decades have led to a major breakthrough emphasizing
the existence of a strongly energetic mesoscale turbulent eddy field in all the oceans. This …

The OceanGliders program started in 2016 to support active coordination and enhancement
of global glider activity. OceanGliders contributes to the international efforts of the Global …

Numerical simulations suggest that submesoscale turbulence may transform lateral
buoyancy gradients into vertical stratification and thus restratify the upper ocean via vertical …

Mesoscale eddies contain the bulk of the ocean's kinetic energy (KE), but fundamental
questions remain on the cross-scale KE transfers linking eddy generation and dissipation …
