Warm rings in mesoscale eddies in a cold straining ocean - Nature Communications The authors use data from underwater gliders, satellites and numerical simulations and show that submesoscale motions at ocean eddy edges pump heat upward, forming “warm rings” and a ~ 0.4 °C warming ...

New study with data from underwater gliders, satellites and numerical simulations shows that #submesoscale motions at #ocean eddy edges pump heat upward, forming “warm rings” in the Lofoten Basin, suggesting a key pathway for #Atlantic water heat loss. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Observed regimes of submesoscale dynamics in the Southern Ocean seasonal ice zone - Nature Communications The Southern Ocean seasonal ice zone can be divided into 3 dynamical regimes based on the magnitude and sign of the mean submesoscale vertical heat flux using instrumented seal data.

Prend et al. (2025) shows, using instrumented #SealData, that the #SouthernOcean seasonal #IceZone can be divided into 3 dynamical regimes based on the magnitude and sign of the mean #Submesoscale vertical #HeatFlux
