Doubling of surface oceanic meridional heat transport by non-symmetry of mesoscale eddies
Abstract Oceanic transport of heat by ubiquitous mesoscale eddies plays a critical role in regulating climate variability and redistributing excess heat absorbed by ocean under global warming. Eddies have long been simplified as axisymmetric vortices and their influence on heat transport remains unc...
