The oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) of Peru is recognized as a source CO2 to the atmosphere due upwelling that brings water with high concentrations dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) surface. However, influence OMZ dynamics on carbonate system remains poorly understood given lack direct observations. This study examines coastal Eastern South Pacific based multidisciplinary cruise took place in 2014. During cruise, onboard DIC and pH measurements were used estimate pCO2 calculate calcium saturation...
Abstract Mesoscale warm‐core rings, known as Loop Current rings (LCRs) reshape the Gulf of Mexico water masses by redistributing large amounts heat and salt laterally. LCRs also transform via diapycnal mixing, but mechanisms which this occurs are poorly measured. Here, we present glider‐MicroPod turbulence observations that reveal enhanced mixing below mixed layer, along eddy edges, driving LCR's heat, salt, oxygen exchanges. Interleavings adjacent may be interpreted mainly a manifestation...
The Loop Current is the main mesoscale feature of Gulf Mexico oceanic circulation. With peak velocities above 1.5 m s –1 , and its eddies are interest to fisheries, hurricane prediction special concern for security oil rig operations in Mexico, therefore understanding their predictability not only scientific but also a major environmental issue. Combining altimetric data an eddy detection algorithm with 8 years deep flow measurements through Yucatan Channel, we developed predictive model...
