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 …

The ocean circulation is a cause and consequence of fluid scale interactions ranging from
millimeters to more than 10,000 km. Although the wind field produces a large energy input to …

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 …

The oceanic mesoscale flow field, characterized by a horizontal length scale of 10 to 100
km, has been studied extensively for its dynamics and its contribution to the lateral transport …

In computational simulations of an idealized subtropical eastern boundary upwelling current
system, similar to the California Current, a submesoscale transition occurs in the eddy …

The motivation to study the vertical exchanges of tracers associated with mesoscale eddies
is that the mean concentration of most oceanic tracers changes rapidly with depth. Because …

A parameterization for the restratification by finite-amplitude, submesoscale, mixed layer
eddies, formulated as an overturning streamfunction, has been recently proposed to …

California Undercurrent in: Journal of Physical Oceanography Volume 45 Issue 3 (2015) Jump …

Most of the ocean kinetic energy is contained in the large scale currents and the vigorous
geostrophic eddy field, at horizontal scales of order 100 km. To achieve equilibrium the …
