- Plankton functional type modelling : running before we can walk? (2005, background): “The latter is worthy of note given the coarse resolution of many physical models and the knowledge that much of the action occurs at the mesoscale or smaller (Levy et al., 2001).”
- Biophysical interactions in the plankton: A cross‐scale review (2012, background): “New tracking and detection methods have bolstered awareness of the role of jets (or squirts) and filaments in coastal transport (Lévy et al. 2001; Nieto et al. 2012).”
- Bringing physics to life at the submesoscale (2012, background): “It has been argued that turbulent eddy motions are an important vehicle for this transport [Falkowski et al., 1991; Flierl and Davis, 1993; Oschlies and Garcon, 1998; Mahadevan and Archer, 2000; Martin and Richards, 2001; Lévy et al., 2001; Williams and Follows, 2003].”
- Oceanic Restratification Forced by Surface Frontogenesis (2006, background): “The ageostrophic circulation that develops on each side of the density front has a systematic bias that favors the upwelling (downwelling) of light (dense) fluid (see Levy et al. 2001; Hakim et al. 2002) to release the potential energy associated with the front.”
- Comparison between Eulerian diagnostics and finite-size Lyapunov exponents computed from altimetry in the Algerian basin (2008, background): “These vertical velocities may fertilise the photic layer, creating lo-18 cal plankton blooms and affecting the sequestration of organic matter from the surface19 (Lévy et al., 2001, 2005).”
- Regional scale characteristics of the seasonal cycle of chlorophyll in the Southern Ocean (2011, background): “High resolution satellite imagery and model simulations now show that incorrect representation of sub-mesoscale frontogenesis can result in errors of up to 50 % in primary production estimates (Lévy et al., 2001; Glover et al., 2008).”
- An analysis of mechanisms for submesoscale vertical motion at ocean fronts (2006, methodology): “The features that develop in our wind-forced model simulations at a horizontal grid resolution of 500 m are finer in scale and different in character from the frontal up- and down-welling described in the modeling study of Levy et al. (2001) using a horizontal grid resolution of 2 km.”
