Submesoscale processes and mixing
In this chapter, we discuss the links between oceanic submesoscale (100 m–10 km)
processes and mixing. Submesoscale currents occur on lateral scales of 100 m–10 km in …

Biogeochemical role of subsurface coherent eddies in the ocean: Tracer cannonballs, hypoxic storms, and microbial stewpots?
Subsurface eddies are known features of ocean circulation, but the sparsity of observations
prevents an assessment of their importance for biogeochemistry. Here we use a global …

On the role of bottom pressure torques in wind-driven gyres
AL Stewart, JC McWilliams… - Journal of Physical …, 2021 - journals.ametsoc.org
Previous studies have concluded that the wind-input vorticity in ocean gyres is balanced by
bottom pressure torques (BPT), when integrated over latitude bands. However, the BPT must …

Eddy dynamics over continental slopes under retrograde winds: Insights from a model inter-comparison
Y Wang, AL Stewart - Ocean Modelling, 2018 - Elsevier
Mesoscale eddies are ubiquitous in the ocean and play a key role in exchanges across
continental slopes. In this study the properties of wind-driven baroclinic turbulence are …

Dynamic transitions and bifurcations for a class of axisymmetric geophysical fluid flow
In this article, we aim to classify the dynamic transitions and bifurcations for a family of
axisymmetric geophysical fluid problems of a generic fourth-second order structure. A …
