Vertical transformation of mesoscale eddies crossing the Kuroshio Extension: Evidence from cyclonic and anticyclonic rings
The Kuroshio Extension is one of the most energetic frontal systems in the World Ocean, separating subtropical and subarctic water masses. Mesoscale eddies regularly cross this front, enabling cross-jet transport of heat, salt, and hydrographic properties despite the barrier nature of the jet. Previous studies have mai...
