Abyssal eddy kinetic energy in the North Atlantic [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Marine Research, 1984
Both eddy and mean fields have similar zonal and meridional scales of geographical variation in the mid-latitude North Atlantic. The first map of the North Atlantic that contained estimates of the intensity of the abyssal eddy field is now several years ...

Interannual modulation of subthermocline eddy kinetic energy east of the Philippines

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2022
Interannual 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).

Seasonality of eddy kinetic energy in an eddy permitting global climate model

Ocean Modelling, 2017
Abstract 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).

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 ...

Understanding the variability of the Eddy Kinetic Energy in the Arctic Ocean.

2021
<p>Mesoscale activity in the Arctic Ocean remains largely unexplored, owing primarily to the challenges of i) observing eddies in this ice-covered region and ii) modelling at such small deformation radius. In this talk, we will use results from a simulation performed with a high-resolution, eddy resolving model to investigate the spatial ...

Eddy Deformation and Kinetic Energy Conversion During the Eddy‐Kuroshio Interaction East of Taiwan

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2023
AbstractEddy‐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.

On the Decadal Variability of the Eddy Kinetic Energy in the Kuroshio Extension

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2017
AbstractPrevious studies have found that the decadal variability of eddy kinetic energy (EKE) in the upstream Kuroshio Extension is negatively correlated with the jet strength, which seems counterintuitive at first glance because linear stability analysis usually suggests that a stronger jet would favor baroclinic instability and thus lead to stronger ...

Mean kinetic energies of eddy and mean currents in the atmosphere

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1964
The mean kinetic energies of the eddy and mean currents in a series of horizontal and vertical cross sections showing the three-dimensional structure of the kinetic energies in the atmosphere were computed and analyzed. It was found that there is a region of maximum eddy kinetic energy located to the northeast and slightly below each region of maximum ...

A study of the growth and decay of eddy available potential energy and eddy kinetic energy based on temporal correlations

Atmosphere-Ocean, 1988
Abstract The growth and decay of vertically integrated eddy kinetic energy (KE) and eddy available potential energy (APE) are studied in terms of zonal wavenumber over a three‐year period for the Northern and the Southern Hemispheres by correlating the energies and their tendencies with terms in the energy budget equations.

Variations of eddy kinetic energy in the South China Sea

Journal of Oceanography, 2010
Fifteen years of merged altimetric data were used to acquire the seasonal to interanual variations of eddy kinetic energy (EKE) in the South China Sea (SCS). The results show that climatological mean EKE in the SCS ranges from 50 cm(2)/s(2) to 1,400 cm(2)/s(2), with high values in the regions southeast of Vietnam and southwest of Taiwan Island.
