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: AbstractDiscovery and analysis of submesoscale variability O(0.3–30) km on the continental shelf is made possible by a high-resolution (Δx = 75 m) Regional Oceanic Modeling System (ROMS) simulation of the Southern California Bight (SCB). This… read more here.
