Bringing physics to life at the submesoscale (2012, background): “It is only density surfaces that remain smooth [Lapeyre et al., 2006; Klein et al., 2008].”
Upper Ocean Turbulence from High-Resolution 3D Simulations (2008, unknown): “…of the vertical velocity triggered by surface frontogenesis and the role assigned to this velocity in the restratification/destratification process [as shown in Lapeyre et al. (2006)] indicate that vertical velocity is a major component for the communication between the surface and interior modes.”
Comparison between Eulerian diagnostics and finite-size Lyapunov exponents computed from altimetry in the Algerian basin (2008, background): “Horizontally, the elongation of water masses in thin structures intensifies local gradi-22 ents, greatly enhancing background diffusion (Lapeyre et al., 2006).”
The Modulation of Biological Production by Oceanic Mesoscale Turbulence (2008, background): “to the ageostrophic submesoscale dynamics induced by baroclinic eddies in the absence of atmospheric forcing [170].”
A boundary-value problem for the parameterized mesoscale eddy transport (2010, background): “The presence of boundary terms on the right hand side of equation (30) may be related to the surface solutions described, for example, by Lapeyre et al. (2006) .”
Friction, Frontogenesis, and the Stratification of the Surface Mixed Layer (2008, background): “Lapeyre et al. (2006) and Fox-Kemper et al. (2008) have recently pointed out that during times of weak air–sea fluxes, lateral dynamics become leading order and tend to restratify the mixed layer through ageostrophic slumping of lateral buoyancy gradients.”
Mixed Layer Instabilities and Restratification (2007, background): “Nurser and Zhang (2000) and, more recently, Lapeyre et al. (2006) suggest that mesoscale instabilities can also act to restratify the upper ocean.”
Parameterization of mixed layer eddies. Part II: Prognosis and, impact (2008, result): “The restratification by frontogenesis (Oschlies 2002; Lapeyre et al. 2006; Capet et al. 2008) may be of similar magnitude to MLE restratification.”
Mesoscale to Submesoscale Transition in the California Current System. Part II: Frontal Processes (2008, background): “…actually change sign on each side of the front), w T and Fs are products of such delta functions.1 More fundamentally, the general relationships between these different quantities are complex and involve processes other than frontogenesis (e.g., Lapeyre et al. 2006, and section 4 herein).”
Parameterization of Mixed Layer Eddies. Part I. Theory and Diagnosis (2008, background): “Now that a foundation has been laid, the effects of MLEs may be studied in combination with the effects Unauthenticated | Downloaded 07/30/22 08:39 AM UTC of wind (Thomas 2005) and mesoscale frontogenesis (Spall 1997; Oschlies 2002; Lapeyre et al. 2006).”
The Surface Water and Ocean Topography Mission: Observing Terrestrial Surface Water and Oceanic Submesoscale Eddies (2010, methodology): “The connection between vorticity and oceanic vertical stratification was demonstrated by Lapeyre et al. [ 47 ], using numerical simulations.”
