Wind-current feedback is an energy sink for oceanic internal waves

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    The cospectrum of wind stress and surface currents quantifies the surface kinetic energy fluxes (Fig 2a). At smaller scales (10-200 km) and low frequencies ( and amp;lt; 1 day-1), namely the meso- and | Vol:(1234567890) 13:5915 | submesocale ranges, the wind act as an energy sink for the ocean, removing energy at a rate of - 0.05 mW m-2. At smaller scales (10-200 km) and higher frequencies (>1 day-1), the wind also act as an energy sink (- 0.2 mW m-2). The "IW killing", which corresponds to a . . .
