Penetration of surface-generated mesoscale eddies into oceanic abyssal (numerical experiments)

Several series of numerical experiments were conducted to generate a mesoscale eddy in a deep rotating basin (4000 m deep) with stratification typical of mid- and low-latitude of the World Ocean, including an upper mixed layer, a density jump layer, and a main pycnocline. A sea level anomaly driven by Ekman transport c...
