Challenges and Prospects in Ocean Circulation Models (2019, background): “Observational diagnoses of diffusivities are becoming more common (Marshall et al., 2006; Abernathey and Marshall, 2013; Poje et al., 2014; Cole et al., 2015; Groeskamp et al., 2017), but different diagnostic techniques may result in different diffusivities (Klocker et al.”
Multiple Jets as PV Staircases: The Phillips Effect and the Resilience of Eddy-Transport Barriers (2008, background): “…radiation stresses as needed, is strong enough and effective enough to have created the staircase in the first place—arguably the situation on Jupiter—then the range of available vortex strengths will influence the step size such that the strongest vortices are only just below the threshold.”
An assessment of Antarctic Circumpolar Current and Southern Ocean meridional overturning circulation during 1958–2007 in a suite of interannual CORE-II simulations (2015, background): “…Southern Ocean’s grip on past, present and future global limate has been long recognized (Toggweiler and Samuels, 1995; ussell et al., 2006; Watson and Naveira-Garabato, 2006; Toggweiler t al., 2006; Kuhlbrodt et al., 2007; Toggweiler and Russell, 2008; arshall and Speer, 2012, to cite a few).”
The Dependence of Southern Ocean Meridional Overturning on Wind Stress (2011, background): “…the modulation of Le by the presence of mean flows, and there is indeed mounting evidence that the spatial variations in K in the Southern Ocean are modulated by the strong jets found there (Marshall et al. 2006; Smith and Marshall 2009; Abernathey et al. 2010; Naveira Garabato et al. 2011).”
Jets and Topography: Jet Transitions and the Impact on Transport in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (2012, background): “For flows in a chaotic advection regime, it is the largescale coarse-resolution velocity field that is the most important for tracer and particle advection (Haynes and Shuckburgh 2000; Marshall et al. 2006).”
Evidence for Enhanced Eddy Mixing at Middepth in the Southern Ocean (2009, background): “This is most apparent in the residual mean framework, as discussed in Marshall and Radko (2003) and Ferreira et al.”
Eddy stirring in the Southern Ocean (2011, background): “This literature [e.g., Marshall et al., 2006; Smith and Marshall, 2009; Abernathy et al., 2009] explains the spatial distribution of in the vicinity of a jet in terms of an enhancement of mixing at critical layers girdling the jet core.”
