Diagnosing Cross‐Scale Kinetic Energy Exchanges From Two Submesoscale Permitting Ocean Models

Abstract Fine‐scale motions (<100 km) contribute significantly to the exchanges and dissipation of kinetic energy in the upper ocean. However, knowledge of ocean kinetic energy at fine‐scales (in terms of density and transfers) is currently limited due to the lack of sufficient observational data...
