Vertical Eddy Energy Fluxes in the North Atlantic Subtropical and Subpolar Gyres
Eddy energy generation and energy fluxes are examined in a realistic eddy-resolving model of the North Atlantic. Over 80% of the wind energy input is found to be released by the generation of eddies through baroclinic instability. The eddy energy generation is located near the surface in the subtrop...
