Estimates of Ocean Macroturbulence: Structure Function and Spectral Slope from Argo Profiling Floats

Estimates of Ocean Macroturbulence: Structure Function and Spectral Slope from Argo Profiling Floats

The Argo profiling float network has repeatedly sampled much of the World Ocean. This study uses Argo temperature and salinity data to form the tracer structure function of ocean variability at the macroscale (10-1000 km, mesoscale and above). Here, second-order temperature and salinity structure fu...
