Abstract. We analyzed physical oceanic parameters gathered by a mooring array at mesoscale spatial sampling deployed in the Argentine Basin within Ocean Observatory Initiative, National Science Foundation major research facility. The was maintained 42∘ S and W, historically sparsely sampled region with small ocean variability, over 34 months from March 2015 to January 2018. data documented four...

To extend studies of the dynamics of thin atmospheric layers, the generation and equilibration of multiple anticyclonic vortex sets associated with long solitary baroclinic Rossby waves are examined numerically using a primitive equation model with Jovian parameters subject to a simple heating function. We seek primarily to model the three main groups of anticyclones seen on Jupiter, namely, th...

As a follow-up study of the observation tiny anticyclones by short range LIDAR at Hong Kong International Airport, super high model numerical weather prediction simulation airflow is performed spatial resolution 50 m. The successfully captures anticyclonic flow, suggesting that such flow could partly arise from terrain effect on airport. variability winds as observed an anemometer and forecast ...

Interaction between mesoscale eddies and near-inertial internal waves can contribute to enhanced turbulence mixing but quantitative knowledge from in situ observations is still lacking. This study reveals how eddy/near-inertial wave interactions (ENIs) affect the variability of turbulent ice-covered Canada Basin Arctic Ocean. We use data five Ice-Tethered Profiler with Velocity (ITP-V) systems ...

Mesoscale eddies are ubiquitous features of ocean circulation that modulate the supply of nutrients to the upper sunlit ocean, influencing the rates of carbon fixation and export. The popular eddy-pumping paradigm implies that nutrient fluxes are enhanced in cyclonic eddies because of upwelling inside the eddy, leading to higher phytoplankton production. We show that this view does not hold for...

This paper investigates – using the GEOS-Chem global chemical transport model how surface deposition of divalent mercury species (Hg(II)) is influenced by Hg(II) production at different atmospheric heights. The authors show that surface deposition is dominated by production in the upper and middle troposphere and highlight the large role of subtropical anticyclones as a global reservoir of Hg(I...

[1] The spatial and temporal variability of the East Australian Current (EAC) is investigated using 6 years (1993–1998) of surface geostrophic stream function from an optimal interpolation of altimeter sea surface heights and velocities derived from tracking thermal features in satellite imagery. Variability appears as a series of cyclones and anticyclones propagating southwestward and westward...

The eddy field across the Arctic Ocean’s Canada Basin is analyzed using Ice-Tethered Profiler (ITP) and moored measurements of temperature, salinity, and velocity spanning 2005 to 2015. ITPs encountered 243 eddies, 98% of which were anticyclones, with approximately 70% of these having anomalously cold cores. The spatially and temporally varying eddy field is analyzed accounting for sampling bia...
