Lagrangian eddy kinetic energy of ocean mesoscale eddies and its application to the Northwestern Pacific. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 AbstractCoherent oceanic mesoscale eddies with unique dynamical structures have great impacts on ocean transports and global climate. Eddy kinetic energy (EKE), derived from time-dependent circulation, is commonly used to study mesoscale eddies. However, there are three deficiencies of EKE when focusing on the analysis of coherent mesoscale eddies ...

Global Estimation of the Eddy Kinetic Energy Dissipation From a Diagnostic Energy Balance
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Mesoscale eddies dominate the ocean kinetic energy reservoir. However, how and where this energy flows out from the mesoscale remains uncertain. Here, a simplified mesoscale energy budget is used where sources due to baroclinic instability are balanced ...

Eddies and the Distribution of Eddy Kinetic Energy in the Arctic Ocean
Oceanography, 2022 Mesoscale eddies are important to many aspects of the dynamics of the Arctic Ocean. Among others, they maintain the halocline and interact with the Atlantic Water circumpolar boundary current through lateral eddy fluxes and shelf-basin exchanges.

Dissipation of mesoscale eddies at a western boundary via a direct energy cascade
Scientific Reports, 2022 The fate of mesoscale eddy kinetic energy represents a large source of uncertainty in the global ocean energy budget. Satellite altimetry suggests that mesoscale eddies vanish at ocean western boundaries.

Deep Eddy Kinetic Energy in the Tropical Pacific From Lagrangian Floats [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2020 AbstractAt the ocean surface, satellite observations have shown evidence of a large spectrum of waves at low latitudes. However, very little is known about the existence and properties of the deep variability. Most of the subsurface observations rely on localized measurements, which do not allow for a global estimation of this variability.
