The open ocean kinetic energy cascade is strongest in late winter and spring
Abstract The oceanic kinetic energy cascade, the flux of kinetic energy between currents of different horizontal scales, shapes the structure of the global ocean circulation and the associated heat, salt, nutrient, and oxygen fluxes. Here, we show with a numerical ocean simulation that the surface g...
