A Resonance Mechanism Leading to Wind-Forced Motions with a 2f Frequency
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study revisits the mechanisms that spatially reorganize wind-forced inertial motions embedded in an oceanic mesoscale eddy field. Inertial motions are known to be affected by the eddy relative vorticity, being expelled ...
Propagation of Wind Energy into the Deep Ocean through a Fully Turbulent Mesoscale Eddy Field
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors analyze the 3D propagation of wind-forced near-inertial motions in a fully turbulent mesoscale eddy field with a primitive equation numerical model. Although the wind stress is uniform, the near-inertial motion ...
Emergence of Wind-Driven Near-Inertial Waves in the Deep Ocean Triggered by Small-Scale Eddy Vorticity Structures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing numerical simulations forced by a uniform realistic wind time series, the authors show that the presence of a mesoscale eddy field at midlatitudes accelerates the vertical propagation of the wind-forced near-inertial ...
