Sentences with phrase «mesoscale ocean eddies»

Not exact matches

The study was focused on a form of turbulence known as mesoscale eddies, ocean swirls on the scale of tens to hundreds of kilometers across that last anywhere from a month to a year.

«Mesoscale eddies are on the scale of hundreds of kilometers across, yet the ocean is only four kilometers deep, which makes them essentially two - dimensional.

Mesoscale eddies in the global ocean work the same way.»

Giant swirling masses of seawater known as mesoscale eddies roam the world's oceans.

The US CLIVAR / OCB Southern Ocean Working Group was formed to identify critical observational targets and develop data / model metrics based on the currently available observational data, both physical and tracer, and the assimilative modeling (re) analyses, and evaluate and develop our understanding of the importance of mesoscale eddies in the heat and carbon uptake and of the response of the Southern Ocean to a changing climate, using high - resolution numerical studies and theory.
