Submesoscale currents in the ocean (2016, background): “QG has a subclass especially relevant to near-boundary regions, Surface QG (SQG), based on an idealization of qqg(x) that is zero in the fluid interior, so its evolution is controlled by a horizontal advection–diffusion equation for horizontal buoyancy with gradients ∇hb on the boundary4 [32,33].”

Three‐dimensional reconstruction of oceanic mesoscale currents from surface information (2008, methodology): “This approach has been already tested in idealized numerical simulations [Lapeyre and Klein, 2006; LaCasce and Mahadevan, 2006], in situ measurements [LaCasce and Mahadevan, 2006] and remotely sensed data [Isern-Fontanet et al.”
Suppression of Eddy Diffusivity across Jets in the Southern Ocean (2010, background): “Lapeyre and Klein (2006) have recently shown that QG models with potential vorticity (PV) gradients con-ﬁned to the surface reproduce quite accurately the vertical and horizontal structure of ocean eddies in the upper few hundred meters of the oceans.”
Do Altimeter Wavenumber Spectra Agree with the Interior or Surface Quasigeostrophic Theory (2008, methodology): “An alternate dynamical explanation, based on the SQG theory (Blumen, 1978; Held et al., 1995), has been recently revisited to describe the dynamics of the upper oceanic layers ( Lapeyre and Klein, 2006a; LaCasce and Mahadevan, 2006; Isern et al., 2006).”
Oceanic Restratification Forced by Surface Frontogenesis (2006, background): “This kind of balance was revealed by Lapeyre and Klein (2005) to be quite relevant for the mesoscale and submesoscale dynamics of the upper oceanic layers.”
Interpreting Energy and Tracer Spectra of Upper-Ocean Turbulence in the Submesoscale Range (1–200 km) (2013, methodology): “The spectral surface QG–streamfunction ^ c is then found by inverting the zero interior-PV condition (e.g., Blumen 1978; Lapeyre and Klein 2006) Nk h e Nk h z / f (A2) and the kinetic and potential energy spectra are These spectra are shown in Fig.”
Reconstructing the Ocean's Interior from Surface Data (2013, methodology): “An alternate approach was suggested by Lapeyre and Klein (2006).”
