Dynamics, heat transport, spectral composition and acoustic signatures of mesoscale variability in the ocean

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. === The general circulation of the global ocean is turbulent rather than laminar. Mesoscale eddies contribute to the transport of tracers like heat, salt, and oxygen, and affect large-scale ocean dynamics. The problem of representing mesoscale...
