Marine plastic debris floating on the ocean surface is a major environmental problem.
However, its distribution in the ocean is poorly mapped, and most of the plastic waste …

The paper provides a review of recent results on mesoscale ocean dynamics derived from
satellite altimetry. Since 1992, we have had an unprecedented 18year high-resolution …

Sixteen years of sea-surface height (SSH) fields constructed by merging the measurements
from two simultaneously operating altimeters are analyzed to investigate mesoscale …

Materials irradiated with multiple femtosecond laser pulses in subablation conditions are
observed to develop various types of self-assembled morphologies that range from …

An accurate knowledge of the ocean mean dynamic topography (MDT) is mandatory for the
optimal use of altimetric data, including their assimilation into operational ocean forecasting …

This work updates the methods of Lumpkin and Johnson (2013) to obtain an improved near-
surface velocity climatology for the global ocean using observations from undrogued and 15 …

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 …

Presented here are three mean dynamic topography maps derived with different
methodologies. The first method combines sea level observed by the high-accuracy satellite …

The Ocean Surface Topography Mission/Jason-2 (OSTM/Jason-2) satellite altimetry mission
was successfully launched on June 20, 2008, as a cooperative mission between CNES …

The significance of the magnitude of the Prandtl number of a fluid in the propagation
direction of induced convection rolls is elucidated. Specifically, we report on the physical …
