Energetics of frontogenesis in simple balanced models
Yue Bai, Jörn Callies
Submesoscale fronts have been proposed to act as conduits funneling kinetic energy from geostrophically constrained mesoscale eddies down to small scales, where the energy can be d…
Orthogonality of coastal trapped waves
Jörn Callies
Coastal trapped wave modes are shown to be orthogonal in the sense that they make independent contributions to the energy of the wave field. The hydrostatic Boussinesq dynamics on…
Assessing submesoscale sea surface height signals from the SWOT mission
Xihan Zhang, Jörn Callies
The sea surface height (SSH) field measured by Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission's wide-swath altimeter is analyzed with a focus on submesoscale features. Along-tra…
Closure of the sea surface height budget with a Stokes offset
Jörn Callies, Charly de Marez, Jinbo Wang +1
The sea surface height budget, obtained by integrating hydrostatic balance over the water column, relates sea surface height variations to variations of the seafloor pressure, dens…
