Congratulations to Estel Font and co-authors on the publication of a new paper in Ocean Science.
The study, “Spatiotemporal scales of mode water transformation in the Sea of Oman”, uses profiling-float climatologies and high-resolution underwater glider observations to investigate how mode water changes from monthly to 3-day timescales.
The paper shows that mesoscale eddies strongly intensify both lateral and vertical water-mass exchanges, shaping how oxygenated waters interact with the oxygen minimum zone in the Sea of Oman.
