  • Most of the ocean kinetic energy is contained in the large scale geostrophic currents and the pathways of energy toward dissipation are still in question. Here, the authors show that flow-topography interactions can generate submesoscale wakes and provide an efficient route to energy dissipation.

  • The authors reveal that the ocean right above the sloping seafloor flows on average downhill and that this downhill flow recirculates upward in the overlying water column using ocean velocity observations and numerical ocean simulations.

  • Recent numerical simulations suggest that the fronts that develop along the rims of ocean eddies are stronger in winter than in summer. Here, the authors present observational confirmation, which informs how these frontal flows are formed.

  • Vertical exchange in the ocean is an important conduit connecting the surface to the deep and influences the distributions of gases, nutrients, pollutants, and other tracers. Here the authors using high-resolution observations and numerical simulations of the ocean fronts in the Northern Gulf of Mexico reveal that the interaction between the fronts and land-sea breeze creates slantwise pathways for water parcels and induces significant subduction of surface water and upwelling of bottom water.

  • Hydrothermal vents are biogeochemically important, but their contribution to the carbon cycle is poorly constrained. Here the authors build a biogeochemical model that estimates autotrophic and heterotrophic production rates of microbial communities within hydrothermal plumes along mid-ocean ridges.

  • The flux of kinetic energy from small to large-scale ocean currents shows in large parts of the ocean a late-winter maximum at the smaller scales that transitions to large scales over a couple of months, according to satellite observations.

  • Leakage of warm, salty waters from the Indian Ocean into the Atlantic increases by up to 40 % in high-resolution numerical ocean model simulations, suggesting that low-resolution models underestimate this key part of the global meridional overturning circulation.
