Mesoscale Variability Linked to Interannual Displacement of Gulf Stream Open
The impacts of interannual oscillations of the Gulf Stream (GS) on oceanic mesoscale variability are investigated using satellite observations of sea surface height (SSH) and sea surface temperature (SST) from 1993 to 2018. We show that va…

Increasing Trends in Oceanic Surface Poleward Eddy Heat Flux Observed Over the Past Three Decades Open
Mesoscale processes make the largest contribution to ocean variability and are significant agents in ocean heat transport. In this investigation, we provide evidence based on satellite observations for an increasing trend in surface transi…

Surface Divergent Eddy Heat Fluxes and Their Impacts on Mixed Layer Eddy‐Mean Flow Interactions Open
In this study, the global surface divergent eddy heat flux (EHF) is estimated using remote sensing observations of sea surface height (SSH) and sea surface temperature (SST) over two decades (1993–2017). These results are used as a metric …

Surface Water Mass Transformation in the Southern Ocean: The Role of Eddies Revisited Open
The water mass transformation (WMT) framework describes how water of one class, such as a discrete interval of density, is converted into another class via air–sea fluxes or interior mixing processes. This paper investigates how this proce…

The Global Sink of Available Potential Energy by Mesoscale Air‐Sea Interaction Open
The thermal component of oceanic eddy available potential energy (EPE) generation due to air‐sea interaction is proportional to the product of anomalous sea surface temperature (SST) and net air‐sea heat flux (SHF). In this study we assess…

What Drives Upper-Ocean Temperature Variability in Coupled Climate Models and Observations? Open
A key question in climate modeling is to what extent sea surface temperature and upper-ocean heat content are driven passively by air–sea heat fluxes, as opposed to forcing by ocean dynamics. This paper investigates the question using a cl…

Air–Sea Turbulent Heat Fluxes in Climate Models and Observational Analyses: What Drives Their Variability? Open
A traditional view is that the ocean outside of the tropics responds passively to atmosphere forcing, which implies that air–sea heat fluxes are mainly driven by atmosphere variability. This paper tests this viewpoint using state-of-the-ar…

Bjerknes-like Compensation in the Wintertime North Pacific Open
Observational and model evidence has been mounting that mesoscale eddies play an important role in air–sea interaction in the vicinity of western boundary currents and can affect the jet stream storm track. What is less clear is the interp…
