Global observations of nonlinear mesoscale eddies (2011, unknown): “Variants of the W -based method have been applied regionally to identify eddies in the Mediterranean Sea (Isern-Fontanet et al., 2003, 2004, 2006a,b), in the major eastern boundary currents (Morrow et al., 2004), and from model simulations of the circulation off the west coast of South America (Penv”
Comparison between Eulerian diagnostics and finite-size Lyapunov exponents computed from altimetry in the Algerian basin (2008, methodology): “…pattern observed453 around longitude 4◦E and 38◦N which is associated to the region of vortex detachment from454 coast discussed in previous papers (Isern-Fontanet et al., 2006), the pattern observed east455 of Eivissa island (1.5◦E and 38.5◦N) or the Almeria-Oran front.456 After observing that…”
Southern Ocean eddy phenomenology (2015, result): “A similar approach was taken in several regional studies, e.g., for the Mediterranean [Isern-Fontanet et al., 2003, 2006], various areas in the Pacific [Henson and Thomas, 2008; Chaigneau et al., 2008; Itoh and Yasuda, 2010; Kurczyn et al., 2012; Liu et al., 2012], the eastern boundary upwelling…”
Comparison between three implementations of automatic identification algorithms for the quantification and characterization of mesoscale eddies in the South Atlantic Ocean (2011, methodology): “This method have been applied to both satellite data and numerical model results with considerable success (Isern-Fontanet et al., 2006; Chelton et al., 2007; Henson and Thomas, 2008).”
Global observations of large oceanic eddies (2007, methodology): “Okubo-Weiss parameter, W, which is a measure of the relative importance of deformation and rotation and is given by the sum of the squares of the normal and shear components of strain minus the square of the relative vorticity [ Isern-Fontanet et al., 2003, 2006 ].”
