Bringing physics to life at the submesoscale (2012, background): “…Williams and Follows, 1998; Oschlies, 2002; Lévy, 2003; Ferrari et al., 2008; Lehahn et al., 2011; Chelton et al., 2011] and vertical [e.g., McGillicuddy et al., 1998; Uz et al., 2001; Cipollini et al., 2001; Martin and Richards, 2001; McGillicuddy et al., 2007] transport of biomass and nutrients.”
Physical forcing of nitrogen fixation and diazotroph community structure in the North Pacific subtropical gyre (2009, background): “between eddy flow fields and surface wind stress might increase vertical nutrient exchange within such anticyclones [Martin and Richards, 2001; Woodward and Rees, 2001; McGillicuddy et al., 2007].”
The Modulation of Biological Production by Oceanic Mesoscale Turbulence (2008, background): “At shorter timescales, vertical advection is controlled by the three-dimensional circulation associated with baroclinic eddies [6, 7, 8] and by the processes of frontogenesis and frontolysis [9, 10, 11, 12, 13], an effect that can be crucial in subtropical gyres, i.”
Mesoscale physical–biological–biogeochemical linkages in the open ocean : an introduction to the results of the E-Flux and EDDIES programs (2008, background): “This effect causes upwelling in the interiors of anticyclones (Dewar and Flierl, 1987; Martin and Richards, 2001), which reinforces eddy-induced upwelling in MWEs (Ledwell et al., 2008; McGillicuddy et al., 2007).”
Modulation of Wind-Work by Oceanic Current Interaction with the Atmosphere (2016, background): “In the open ocean and, in particular, in low-nutrient environments, meso-scale processes increase the net upward ﬂux of limiting nutrients and enhance biological production (Martin and Richards 2001; McGillicuddy et al. 2007).”
Biological response to frontal dynamics and mesoscale variability in oligotrophic environments: Biological production and community structure (2002, methodology): “High vertical velocities resulting from perturbations of the circular flow of eddies have been documented in modeling [Yoshimori and Kishi, 1994; McGillicuddy et al., 1995] and observational [Martin and Richards, 2001] studies.”
