On the Loss of Wind-Induced Near-Inertial Energy to Turbulent Mixing in the Upper Ocean

Wind-induced near-inertial energy has been believed to be an important source for generating the ocean mixing required to maintain the global meridional overturning circulation. In the present study, the near-inertial energy budget in a 1/2° realistic model of the North Atlantic Ocean driven by syno...
