Mesoscale phenomena are ubiquitous and highly energetic features of ocean circulation.
Their influence on biological and biogeochemical processes varies widely, stemming not …

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 …

The well-lit upper layer of the open ocean is a dynamical environment that hosts
approximately half of global primary production. In the remote parts of this environment …

Eddies can influence biogeochemical cycles through a variety of mechanisms, including the
excitation of vertical velocities and the horizontal advection of nutrients and ecosystems …

Nonlinear mesoscale eddies can influence biogeochemical cycles in the upper ocean
through vertical and horizontal advection of nutrients and marine organisms. The relative …

Mesoscale eddies are ubiquitous features in the Southern Ocean, yet their phenomenology
is not well quantified. To tackle this task, we use satellite observations of sea level …

Abstract By analyzing 22 years (1993–2015) of daily eddy data, statistics of surface eddy
properties were refreshed in the South China Sea. More than 7,000 of historical Argo …

Observations from around the global ocean show that enhanced biological activity can be
found in anticyclonic eddies. This may mean that upwelling of nutrient‐rich water occurs …

Mesoscale oceanic eddies are routinely detected from instantaneous velocities derived from
satellite altimetry data. While simple to implement, this approach often gives spurious results …

Abstract The Indo‐Atlantic interocean exchanges achieved by Agulhas Rings are tightly
linked to global ocean circulation and climate. Yet they are still poorly understood because …
