In 2018 we celebrated 25 years of development of radar altimetry, and the progress
achieved by this methodology in the fields of global and coastal oceanography, hydrology …

The future international Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) Mission, planned for
launch in 2021, will make high-resolution 2D observations of sea-surface height using SAR …

Oceanic eddy-induced meridional heat transport (EHT) is an important process in the
Southern Ocean heat budget, the variability of which significantly modulates global …

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 …

State-of-the-art Earth system models typically employ grid spacings of O (100 km), which is
too coarse to explicitly resolve main drivers of the flow of energy and matter across the Earth …

Advent of satellite altimetry brought into focus the pervasiveness of mesoscale eddies O
(100) km in size, which are the ocean's analogue of weather systems and are often regarded …

We revisit the challenges and prospects for ocean circulation models following Griffies et al..
Over the past decade, ocean circulation models evolved through improved understanding …

Diapycnal mixing plays a primary role in the thermodynamic balance of the ocean and,
consequently, in oceanic heat and carbon uptake and storage. Though observed mixing …

Until recently, high-resolution global modeling of tides has been done separately from high-
resolution global modeling of the atmospherically-forced oceanic general circulation. Here …

The science guiding the EUREC 4 A campaign and its measurements is presented. EUREC
4 A comprised roughly 5 weeks of measurements in the downstream winter trades of the …
