TL;DR: In this paper, two new high-resolution sea surface temperature (SST) analysis products have been developed using optimum interpolation (OI), which have a spatial grid resolution of 0.25° and a temporal resolution of 1 day.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global observations of nonlinear mesoscale eddies
TL;DR: In this paper, an automated procedure for identifying and tracking mesoscale features based on their SSH signatures yields 35,891 eddies with average lifetime of 32 weeks and an average propagation distance of 550 km.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geographical Variability of the First Baroclinic Rossby Radius of Deformation
TL;DR: In this paper, the first baroclinic gravity-wave phase speed c1 and the Rossby radius of deformation l1 are computed from climatological average temperature and salinity profiles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global observations of large oceanic eddies
TL;DR: In this article, 10 years of sea-surface height (SSH) fields constructed from the merged TOPEX/Poseidon (T/P) and ERS-1/2 altimeter datasets are analyzed to investigate mesoscale variability in the global ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
Satellite measurements reveal persistent small-scale features in ocean winds.
TL;DR: Four-year averages of 25-kilometer-resolution measurements of near-surface wind speed and direction over the global ocean from the QuikSCAT satellite radar scatterometer reveal the existence of surprisingly persistent small-scale features in the dynamically and thermodynamically important curl and divergence of the wind stress.
