Observing mesoscale eddy effects on mode-water subduction and transport in the North Pacific
Physical processes by which mesoscale eddies affect subduction remain unclear. Here, through a specially designed eddy-resolving field experiment, the authors capture the eddy enhancement of mode water subduction and transport, and confirm the dominance of eddy lateral advection over the eddy trappi...

Sumario: | Physical processes by which mesoscale eddies affect subduction remain unclear. Here, through a specially designed eddy-resolving field experiment, the authors capture the eddy enhancement of mode water subduction and transport, and confirm the dominance of eddy lateral advection over the eddy trapping effect. |
