Eddy Dynamics From Satellite Altimetry

Lee-Lueng Fu; Dudley B. Chelton; Pierre-Yves Le Traon et al.

Oceanography, Vol. 23 No. 4 · 2010 · English · DOAJ Scopus

Most of the kinetic energy of ocean circulation is contained in ubiquitous mesoscale eddies. Their prominent signatures in sea surface height have rendered satellite altimetry highly effective in observing global ocean eddies. Our knowledge of ocean eddy dynamics has grown by leaps and bounds since…

Ocean‐Scale Interactions From Space

Patrice Klein; Guillaume Lapeyre; Lia Siegelman et al.

Earth and Space Science, Vol. 6 No. 5 · 2019 · English · DOAJ Scopus

Satellite observations of the last two decades have led to a major breakthrough emphasizing the existence of a strongly energetic mesoscale turbulent eddy field in all the oceans. This ocean mesoscale turbulence is characterized by cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies (with a 100‐ to 300‐km size and…

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography Mission: A Breakthrough in Radar Remote Sensing of the Ocean and Land Surface Water

Lee‐Lueng Fu; Tamlin M. Pavelsky; Jean‐François Crétaux et al.

Geophysical Research Letters · 2024 · English · OpenAlex Scopus

Abstract The elevations of water surfaces hold important information on the earth's oceans and land surface waters. Ocean sea surface height is related to the internal change of the ocean's density and mass associated with ocean circulation and its response to climate change. The flow rates of…

SWOT Geostrophic Velocity Validation Against In Situ Measurements in the California Current

Babette C. Tchonang; Jinbo Wang; Amy F. Waterhouse et al.

Earth and Space Science, Vol. 13 No. 2 · 2026 · English · DOAJ Scopus

Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission provides high‐resolution sea surface height (SSH) observations from the Ka‐band Radar Interferometer (KaRIn), with the potential to improve our understanding of ocean circulation dynamics. A key objective of SWOT is to convert SSH…

Global Observations of Fine-Scale Ocean Surface Topography With the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) Mission

Rosemary Morrow; Lee-Lueng Fu; Fabrice Ardhuin et al.

Frontiers in Marine Science, Vol. 6 · 2019 · English · DOAJ Scopus

The future international Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) Mission, planned for launch in 2021, will make high-resolution 2D observations of sea-surface height using SAR radar interferometric techniques. SWOT will map the global and coastal oceans up to 77.6° latitude every 21 days over a…

Towards Comprehensive Observing and Modeling Systems for Monitoring and Predicting Regional to Coastal Sea Level

Rui M. Ponte; Mark Carson; Mauro Cirano et al.

Frontiers in Marine Science, Vol. 6 · 2019 · English · DOAJ Scopus

A major challenge for managing impacts and implementing effective mitigation measures and adaptation strategies for coastal zones affected by future sea level (SL) rise is our limited capacity to predict SL change at the coast on relevant spatial and temporal scales. Predicting coastal SL requires…

SEASTAR: A Mission to Study Ocean Submesoscale Dynamics and Small-Scale Atmosphere-Ocean Processes in Coastal, Shelf and Polar Seas

Christine Gommenginger; Bertrand Chapron; Andy Hogg et al.

Frontiers in Marine Science, Vol. 6 · 2019 · English · DOAJ Scopus

High-resolution satellite images of ocean color and sea surface temperature reveal an abundance of ocean fronts, vortices and filaments at scales below 10 km but measurements of ocean surface dynamics at these scales are rare. There is increasing recognition of the role played by small scale ocean…
