Mesoscale phenomena are ubiquitous and highly energetic features of ocean circulation.
Their influence on biological and biogeochemical processes varies widely, stemming not …

Life in the ocean relies on the photosynthetic production of phytoplankton, which is
influenced by the availability of light and nutrients that are modulated by a host of physical …

A common dynamical paradigm is that turbulence in the upper ocean is dominated by three
classes of motion: mesoscale geostrophic eddies, internal waves and microscale three …

Eddies and other mesoscale oceanic processes, such as fronts, can enhance biological
production in the ocean, according to several open-ocean studies. The effect is thought to be …

In the Ocean, the seasonal cycle is the mode that couples climate forcing to ecosystem
response in production, diversity and carbon export. A better characterisation of the …

Abstract In the Southern Ocean there is increasing evidence that seasonal to subseasonal
temporal scales, meso-and submesoscales play an important role in understanding the …

This chapter reviews the current state of knowledge on bio-physical interactions at
mesoscale and at sub-mesoscale. It is focused on the mid-latitudes open ocean. From …

In this study, the authors first show that it is difficult to reconstruct the vertical structure of
vortices using only surface observations. In particular, they show that the recent surface …

Many chemical and biological processes take place in fluid environments in constant
motion? chemical reactions in the atmosphere, biological population dynamics in the ocean …

This work studies two-dimensional fixed-flux Rayleigh–Bénard convection with periodic
boundary conditions in both horizontal and vertical directions and analyses its dynamics …
