Abstract: Abstract Subsurface-intensified anticyclones are ubiquitous in the ocean, yet their impact on the large-scale transport of heat, salt and chemical tracers is poorly understood. These submesoscale coherent vortices (SCVs) can trap and advect waters thousands… read more here.

Abstract: Internal waves are predominantly generated by winds, tide/topography interactions and balanced flow/topography interactions. Observations of vertical shear of horizontal velocity (uz, vz) from LADCP profiles conducted during GO-SHIP hydrographic surveys, as well as vessel-mounted sonars,… read more here.
