A conjecture on the role of bottom-enhanced diapycnal mixing in the parameterization of geostrophic eddies
The parameterization of geostrophic eddies represents a large sink of energy in most ocean models, yet the ultimate fate of this eddy energy in the ocean remains unclear. The authors conjecture that a significant fraction of the eddy energy may be transferred to internal lee waves and oscillations o...
