Low-Frequency Eddy Kinetic Energy Spectrum in the Deep Western North Pacific
Science, 1982The frequency spectrum for the low-frequency eddy kinetic energy is estimated from a long-term current meter record obtained in a deep layer in the western North Pacific. The eddy field is characterized by three time scales: an "annual scale" with zonal dominance of eddy motions, a "temporal mesoscale" with meridional dominance, and a "monthly scale ...

Regional Trends in Southern Ocean Eddy Kinetic Energy
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2021AbstractPrevious model‐based studies and observation‐based studies suggest that increasing wind energy input into the Southern Ocean will primarily cause increases in eddy kinetic energy (EKE) with no significant change in the mean circulation, a result that has been named the “eddy‐saturation” hypothesis.

Understanding future changes in ocean eddy kinetic energy
2022<p>Ocean eddies, which present different properties to their surroundings, play pivotal roles in transporting heat, salt, organic carbon, and nutrients around the ocean, ending up controlling regional and global climate. Eddy kinetic energy (EKE), defined as the kinetic energy of the time-varying component, is one of the most crucial ...

On the Errors of Estimating Oceanic Eddy Kinetic Energy
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2021AbstractWhen evaluating the kinetic energy of the eddy field, using a flow‐decomposition method to split the eddies from the mean‐flow is often necessary. However, the kinetic energies of the eddy and mean‐flow may not sum up to the total energy, because of the existence of a third term, the residual kinetic energy (RKE).

Seasonality of eddy kinetic energy in an eddy permitting global climate model
Ocean Modelling, 2017Abstract We examine the seasonal cycle of upper-ocean mesoscale turbulence in a high resolution CESM climate simulation. The ocean model component (POP) has 0.1° resolution, mesoscale resolving at low and middle latitudes. Seasonally and regionally resolved wavenumber power spectra are calculated for sea-surface eddy kinetic energy (EKE).

Interannual modulation of subthermocline eddy kinetic energy east of the Philippines
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2022AbstractInterannual variation of subthermocline eddy kinetic energy (EKE) east of the Philippines is investigated based on mooring measurements during 2015–2019 and ocean‐state estimates during 1995–2017 from the Oceanic General Circulation Model for the Earth Simulator (OFES).

Eddy Deformation and Kinetic Energy Conversion During the Eddy‐Kuroshio Interaction East of Taiwan
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2023AbstractEddy‐mean flow interactions have always been of interest to researchers because they are among the causes of energy cascades. Different from most previous studies, this research concentrates on the Kuroshio Current's effect on an eddy during multiple independent elliptical eddy‐Kuroshio interactions.

Atmospheric Moisture Decreases Midlatitude Eddy Kinetic Energy
Journal of the Atmospheric SciencesAbstract There is compelling evidence that atmospheric moisture may either increase or decrease midlatitude eddy kinetic energy (EKE). We reconcile these findings by using a hierarchy of idealized atmospheric models to demonstrate that moisture energizes individual eddies given fixed large-scale background winds and temperatures but makes those ...

Sub‐Mesoscales at Ocean Fronts: Dissipation of Eddy Kinetic Energy
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2020AbstractD'Asaro et al. measured the dissipation of eddy kinetic energy at the Kuroshio ocean front, found it to be 1–2 orders of magnitude larger than the value predicted by the law of the wall, and suggested that the enhancement is due to sub‐mesoscales, SM. To assess their suggestion, we employ two SM models.
