Global energy conversion rate from geostrophic flows into internal lee waves in the deep ocean
A global estimate of the energy conversion rate from geostrophic flows into internal lee waves in the ocean is presented. The estimate is based on a linear theory applied to bottom topography at O(1-10) km scales obtained from single beam echo soundings, to bottom stratification estimated from clima...
