Submesoscale Eddy Contribution to Ocean Vertical Heat Flux Diagnosed From Airborne Observations

Abstract Submesoscale eddies (those smaller than 50 km) are ubiquitous throughout the ocean, as revealed by satellite infrared images. Diagnosing their impact on ocean energetics from observations remains a challenge. This study analyzes a turbulent field of submesoscale eddies using airborne observ...
