Enhanced energy dissipation around intrathermocline eddy: direct observations in the South China Sea

High-resolution numerical simulations and field efforts have revealed ubiquitous lateral buoyancy gradients around surface-intensified mesoscale eddies and emphasized the role of submesoscale turbulence in the energy cascade of geostrophic flows and vertical communication of tracers. However, active fronts and subm...
