Observed and numerically simulated kinetic energies for MODE eddies [PDF]
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1980 Abstract It is demonstrated that the outcome of an intercomparison between data and the vertical distribution of eddy kinetic energy predicted by a previously developed numerical model of the MODE area is frequency dependent. In the range of periods from 50 to 150 or even to 400 days (one definition of the temporal mesoscale, the scale that the model ...

Numerical simulation and decomposition of kinetic energy in the Central Mediterranean: insight on mesoscale circulation and energy conversion [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2011 The spatial and temporal variability of eddy and mean kinetic energy of the Central Mediterranean region has been investigated, from January 2008 to December 2010, by mean of a numerical simulation mainly to quantify the mesoscale dynamics and their ...

Non‐Local Eddy‐Mean Kinetic Energy Transfers in Submesoscale‐Permitting Ensemble Simulations [PDF]
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022 AbstractUnderstanding processes associated with eddy‐mean flow interactions helps our interpretation of ocean energetics, and guides the development of parameterizations. Here, we focus on the non‐local nature of Kinetic Energy (KE) transfers between mean and turbulent reservoirs.

Sources of Eddy Kinetic Energy in the Labrador Sea [PDF]
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2002 Experiments with a suite of North Atlantic general circulation models are used to examine the sources of eddy kinetic energy (EKE) in the Labrador Sea. A high-resolution model version (112°) quantitatively reproduces the observed signature. A particular feature of the EKE in the Labrador Sea is its pronounced seasonal cycle, with a maximum intensity in

Interaction of mesoscale vortices in the Lofoten Basin based on the GLORYS database
Russian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2020 We explore the interaction of mesoscale eddies in the Lofoten Basin of the Norwegian Sea using the GLORYS 12v1 eddy-resolving reanalysis. The Lofoten Basin is the area of the intensive ocean-atmosphere interactions and many mesoscale eddies are formed ...

Single super-vortex as a proxy for ocean surface flow fields [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2019 Empirical flow field data evaluation in a well-studied ocean region along the US west coast revealed a surprisingly strong relationship between the surface integrals of kinetic energy and enstrophy (squared vorticity).
