Submesoscale, coherent vortices in the ocean
Abstract
A variety of observations of intense, long‐lived oceanic vortices are interpreted as examples of a distinct phenomenon, which is given the name Submesoscale, Coherent Vortices (SCV's). The distinguishing characteristics of SCV's are defined and illustrated by example, and a survey is made of the different SCV types presently known. On the basis of extant theoretical and modeling solutions, interpretations are made of the dynamics associated with SCV existence, movement, endurance, interactions with other currents, generation, and contributions to the transport of chemical properties in the ocean.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
