Impact of ageostrophic dynamics on the predictability of Lagrangian trajectories in surface-ocean turbulence

Michael Maalouly, Guillaume Lapeyre, Stefano Berti

Turbulent flows at the surface of the ocean deviate from geostrophic equilibrium on scales smaller than about 10 km. These scales are associated with important vertical transport o…
