Turbulent Heat Fluxes in a Mediterranean Eddy Quantified Using Seismic and Hydrographic Observations

Turbulent Heat Fluxes in a Mediterranean Eddy Quantified Using Seismic and Hydrographic Observations

Mediterranean eddies (meddies) play an essential role in transferring heat, salinity and momentum into the Atlantic Ocean. The rate of heat (and salt) flux from the meddy and its ultimate lifetime are key proxies to understanding how meddies impact the redistribution of heat and salt in the ocean sy...
