Description:

Mesoscale activity is an important component of the Solomon Sea circulation that interacts with the energetic low-latitude western boundary currents of the South Tropical Paciﬁc Ocean carryingwaters of subtropical origin before joining the equatorial Paciﬁc. Mixing associated with mesoscale activity could explain water mass transformation observed in the Solomon Sea that likely impacts El Ni ~no Southern Oscillation dynamics. This study makes synergetic use of glider data, altimetry, and high-resolution modelfor exploring mesoscale eddies, especially their vertical structures, and their role on the Solomon Sea circulation. The description of individual eddies observed by altimetry and gliders provides the ﬁrst elements to characterize the 3-D structure of these tropical eddies, and conﬁrms the usefulness of themodel to access a more universal view of such eddies. Mesoscale eddies appear to have a vertical extension limited to the Surface Waters (SW) and the Upper Thermocline Water (UTW), i.e., the ﬁrst 140–150 m depth.
