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

Relatively little is known about coherent vortices in the eastern South-Pacific along the
Peruvian coast, even with regard to basic facts about their frequency of occurrence …

Mesoscale ocean eddies are ubiquitous coherent rotating structures of water with radial
scales on the order of 100 kilometers. Eddies play a key role in the transport and mixing of …

Amongst the variety of oceanic processes running the gamut of spatiotemporal scales,
mesoscale eddies are the most common and often have region-specific characteristics. The …

Angular Momentum Eddy Detection and Tracking Algorithm (AMEDA) and Its Application to
Coastal Eddy Formation in: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology Volume 35 Issue 4 …

The presence of coherent vortices makes observed mesoscale fields of the ocean resemble
two-dimensional turbulence. Using this analogy, a common definition of a coherent structure …

Eddy detection and tracking algorithms are applied to both satellite altimetry and a high‐
resolution (dx= 5 km) climatological model solution of the US West Coast to study the …

Concern about marine litter has been rising in the last decades, triggered by the discovery of
the great mid-ocean garbage patches. The Mediterranean Sea is strongly affected by the …

Transport and mixing properties of surface currents can be detected from altimetric data by
both Eulerian and Lagrangian diagnostics. In contrast with Eulerian diagnostics, Lagrangian …

In the Gulf of Alaska (GOA), mesoscale eddies play an important role in promoting off-shelf
transport of heat, nutrients and biological populations into the HNLC water of the northeast …
