Bringing physics to life at the submesoscale
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 …

Eddy-induced reduction of biological production in eastern boundary upwelling systems
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 …

Eddy activity in the four major upwelling systems from satellite altimetry (1992–2007)
Eddy activity in the four major eastern boundary upwelling systems (EBUS) is investigated
using 15years of satellite altimetry data. Based on the analysis of more than 4000 long-lived …
