The ocean plays a central role in Earth's changing climate. It has absorbed about 30% of carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels in the industrial era and taken up, in the form of heat, about 90% of the radiation imbalance caused by the excess greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide included, that remained in the atmosphere. Global warming and its consequences thus depend crucially on the rates…
Winds and tides primarily drive the mass flow in the ocean. When integrated zonally across the basin and vertically, this flow results ain the so-called meridional overturning circulation (MOC, or AMOC for the Atlantic component). The AMOC transports heat northwards, contributing to a global positive interhemispheric heat content gradient. Due to observational limitations, accurately repr…
Almost all the knowledge of abyssal transport between the South Atlantic and the Southern Ocean is based on conceptual models that generalize bottom transport as a flow northwards, carrying the Antarctic Bottom Water mainly from the Weddell Sea and Prydz Bay. However, the increased resolution in simulations, combined with advances in the representation of topography and mesoscale processe…
Understanding the distribution of kinetic energy and tracer variance amongst spatial scales in the submesoscale range is critical to improving the representation of the effects of submesoscale flows in Earth Systems models. Yet such an understanding has been hindered by the paucity of submesoscale-resolving observations. To narrow this gap, this project will compute the mixed-layer horiz…

Studies in the past decade have revealed that upper-ocean submesoscale features, such as instabilities with horizontal scales of O(1) km, play a fundamental role in air-sea interactions, potentially impacting global climate. The generation of these features is sporadic, and their evolution is relatively rapid, ranging from a few hours to a few days, making direct observation of submesosca…
In this project, we propose to evaluate a method to recover the Brazil Current (BC) mesoscaledynamics from sea surface temperature (SST) imagery. To do that, we will use a model basedon the Surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) theory [Held et al., 1995]. Our hypothesis is that theBC has a potential vorticity structure essentialy trapped to the surface/subsurface (0-200 m), sothat it is possibl…

This project is part of the master's project of the student, which propose to evaluate a method to reconstruct the Brazil Current Mesoscale dynamics from sea surface temperature (SST), by using a Surface Quasi-geostrophic (SQG) model. Here, we propose some improvements in the method, which includes taking into account the interior potential vorticity (PV). To do that, we propose to obtain…
