Quantifying and Interpreting Striations in a Subtropical Gyre: A Spectral Perspective

The amplitude, origin, and direction of striations in the subtropical gyre are investigated using simulated and analytical multidimensional spectra. Striations, defined as banded structures in the low-frequency motions, account for a noticeable percentage of zonal velocity variability in the east No...
