Session: Salient results from the 2017-2020 OSTST PIs

Presentation type: Forum only

Two sets of OSTST-supported results from 2017-2020 are highlighted. The first is the transfer of the Chelton et al. (2011) SSH-based eddy identification and tracking procedure to CLS/DUACS AVISO. The second is the identification of a specific statistical equilibrium regime of the stochastically forced reduced-gravity quasi-geostrophic equations that reproduces remarkably well the mean midlatitude eddy statistics obtained by Chelton et al. (2011) from eddy analysis of the DUACS/AVISO multi-decadal, gridded, merged, multi-altimeter SSH dataset.
