Multiscale Energy Transfers and Conversions of Kuroshio in Luzon Strait and Its Adjacent Regions
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Using the local multiscale energy and vorticity analysis (MS-EVA) and based on the global high-resolution ocean reanalysis product GLORYS12V1 for 20 years, this study investigates the energy transfers and conversions of Kuroshio in the Luzon Strait and ...

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.

The Lorenz energy cycle: trends and the impact of modes of climate variability
Tellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2021 The atmospheric circulation is driven by heat transport from the tropics to the polar regions, embedding energy conversions between available potential and kinetic energy through various mechanisms.

The Impact of Horizontal Resolution on Energy Transfers in Global Ocean Models
Fluids, 2017 The ocean is a turbulent fluid with processes acting on a variety of spatio-temporal scales. The estimates of energy fluxes between length scales allows us to understand how the mean flow is maintained as well as how mesoscale eddies are formed and ...

Eddy-Induced Modulation of Turbulent Dissipation over Rough Topography in the Southern Ocean [PDF]
, 2013 Mesoscale eddies are universal features of the ocean circulation, yet the processes by which their energy is dissipated remain poorly understood. One hypothesis argues that the interaction of strong geostrophic flows with rough bottom topography effects ...

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 ...

A Study of LES Stress and Flux Models Applied to a Buoyant Jet [PDF]
, 2005 Large eddy simulation (LES) stress and scalar flux subgrid scale models are evaluated in the context of buoyant jets. Eddy viscosity, eddy diffusivity (including formulations of the generalized gradient diffusion hypothesis), “structure” (Bardina and ...
