Rapid topographic scatter of near-inertial waves generated by storms
Ashley J. Barnes, Callum J. Shakespeare, Andy McC. Hogg +1
Internal waves propagate on the ocean's stratification, carrying energy and redistributing momentum through the ocean. When internal waves break, they contribute to diapycnal mixin…
Intrinsically episodic Antarctic shelf intrusions of circumpolar deep water via canyons
Ellie Q. Y. Ong, Edward Doddridge, Navid C. Constantinou +2
The structure of the Antarctic Slope Current at the continental shelf is crucial in governing the poleward transport of warm water. Canyons on the continental slope may provide a p…
Intrinsic oceanic decadal variability of upper-ocean heat content
Navid C. Constantinou, Andrew McC. Hogg
Atmosphere and ocean are coupled via air-sea interactions. The atmospheric conditions fuel the ocean circulation and its variability, but the extent to which ocean processes can af…
Eddy saturation of the Southern Ocean: a baroclinic versus barotropic perspective
Navid C. Constantinou, Andrew McC. Hogg
"Eddy saturation" is the regime in which the total time-mean volume transport of an oceanic current is relatively insensitive to the wind stress forcing and is often invoked as a d…
Kinetic energy of eddy-like features from sea surface altimetry
Josué Martínez-Moreno, Andrew McC. Hogg, Andrew E. Kiss +2
The mesoscale eddy field plays a key role in the mixing and transport of physical and biological properties and redistribute energy budgets in the ocean. Eddy kinetic energy is com…
