Observational evidence of alternating zonal jets in the world ocean (2005, background): “Although meridional motions are also observed [Morrow et al., 2004], they are much weaker.”
Global observations of nonlinear mesoscale eddies (2011, unknown): “As shown by Morrow et al. (2004), this phenomenon is most clearly evident off the west coasts of Australia, North America, and South Africa.”
Tracking coherent structures in a regional ocean model with wavelet analysis: Application to Cape Basin eddies - art. no. C05043 (2007, background): “Indeed, in the Cape Basin, eddies of different types interact with each other and with the main retroflection of the Agulhas Current, in a context of vigorous stirring and mixing [Gordon, 2003; Boebel et al., 2003; Morrow et al., 2004].”
Global observations of large oceanic eddies (2007, background): “Similar results have previously been obtained regionally [Morrow et al., 2004].”
Comparison between Eulerian diagnostics and finite-size Lyapunov exponents computed from altimetry in the Algerian basin (2008, methodology): “…layer depth (Young et al., 1982).25 Tracer mesoscale and sub-mesoscale patches are often found associated to surface mesoscale26 eddies (e.g. Robinson, A. R. et al. (1993); McGillicuddy et al. (1998); Martin et al. (2002);27 Abraham and Bowen (2002); Morrow et al. (2004); Legal et al. (2006)).”
Recent advances in observing mesoscale ocean dynamics with satellite altimetry (2012, background): “In the Southern Ocean south of Tasmania, Morrow et al. (2002) have shown how interannual variations in EKE can be linked to interannual changes in the position and strength of the Subantarctic Front.”
Vortices of the Mediterranean Sea: An Altimetric Perspective (2006, methodology): “This vortex identification criterion has been tested to successfully identify marine vortices from SLA maps (Isern-Fontanet et al. 2003; Morrow et al. 2004) and to analyze drifter data (Stocker and Imberger 2003; Testor and Gascard 2004).”
Oceanic mesoscale eddies as revealed by Lagrangian coherent structures (2008, methodology): “Superimposed on the Q field are isolines of Q corresponding to two-standard deviations of Q in the whole domain; similar thresholds have been previously adopted [e.g., IsernFontanet et al., 2003; Morrow et al., 2004; Chelton et al., 2007].”
The Evolution and Propagation of Quasigeostrophic Ocean Eddies (2011, result): “The nonlinear anticyclonic eddy also shows a much slower amplitude decay rate and an equatorward deflection (McWilliams and Flierl 1979), both qualitatively consistent with the observations reported by Morrow et al. (2004) and Chelton et al. (2007, 2011).”
Southern Ocean eddy phenomenology (2015, background): “…phase speeds from the ones of baroclinic Rossby waves and the small poleward and equatorward deflection of cyclones and anticyclones, respectively [Cushman-Roisin et al., 1989; Morrow, 2004; Van Leeuwen, 2007], as well as for eddy-eddy interactions [Chelton et al., 2011b; Early et al., 2011].”
Heat balance and eddies in the Peru-Chile current system (2012, background): “Thus, the mechanism of coherent thermal anomaly transport is an appreciable fraction of the total flux (as suggested by Morrow et al. 2004), but flux contribution from ‘‘incoherent’’ eddy motions is even larger.”
A Vector Geometry–Based Eddy Detection Algorithm and Its Application to a High-Resolution Numerical Model Product and High-Frequency Radar Surface Velocities in the Southern California Bight (2010, methodology): “Despite this method being frequently used to detect eddies from sea level altimetry (SLA) data (i.e., Isern-Fontanet et al. 2003; Morrow et al. 2004; Chelton et al. 2007), the velocity derivatives induce extra noise in the W field.”
