Modulation of Lateral Transport by Submesoscale Flows and Inertia‐Gravity Waves

Modulation of Lateral Transport by Submesoscale Flows and Inertia‐Gravity Waves

Abstract We investigate the role of small‐scale, high‐frequency motions on lateral transport in the ocean, by using velocity fields and particle trajectories from an ocean general circulation model (MITgcm‐llc4320) that permits submesoscale flows, inertia‐gravity waves, and tides. Temporal averaging...
