Constraining an eddy energy dissipation rate due to relative wind stress for use in energy budget-based eddy parameterisations

<p>A geostrophic eddy energy dissipation rate due to the interaction of the large-scale wind field and mesoscale ocean currents, or <i>relative wind stress</i>, is derived here for use in eddy energy budget-based eddy parameterisations. We begin this work by analytically deriving a...
