Abstract: Distributions of temperature (T) and salinity (S) and their relationship in the oceans are the result of a balance between T?S variability generated at the surface by air?sea fluxes and its removal by molecular dissipation. ...

Abstract: Finescale vertical wavenumber strain spectra (strain: normalized buoyancy frequency variability or vertical derivative of isopycnal displacement) are consistently less steep than shear spectra (shear: vertical derivative ...
