Mesoscale Eddy -- Internal Wave Coupling. III. The End of the Enstrophy Cascade and Maintenance of Gyre Scale Potential Vorticity Gradients
Kurt L. Polzin, Giovanni Dematteis
We assess a prognostic formulation of triple coherence relating to energy exchange between mesoscale eddies and the internal wavefield and compare with observations from the Sargas…

Interacting internal waves explain global patterns of interior ocean mixing
Giovanni Dematteis, Arnaud Le Boyer, Friederike Pollmann +4
Across the stable density stratification of the abyssal ocean, deep dense water is slowly propelled upward by sustained, though irregular, turbulent mixing. The resulting mean upwe…
