Variability of Eddy Kinetic Energy in the Eurasian Basin of the Arctic Ocean Inferred From a Model Simulation at 1‐km Resolution

Abstract: Mesoscale eddies play an important role in driving the dynamics of the Arctic Ocean. Understanding their behavior is crucial for comprehending the ongoing changes in the region. In this study, by using a novel decade‐long simulation at 1 km resolution with the unstructured‐mesh Finite volumE Sea ice‐Ocean Model, we evaluate the spatial and temporal variability of eddy kinetic energy in the Eurasian Basin. We find that monthly, annual, and interannual variability of EKE near the surface is predominantly influen… Show more

“…This conjecture is qualitatively consistent with the observations of Fine et al (2018), in which an Arctic subsurface eddy was capable of trapping Pacific warm waters while undergoing strong DC mixing across its upper edge. Future studies along this direction may benefit from fine-resolution ocean models of the Arctic (Liu et al, 2024;Müller et al, 2024) serving to provide spatiallyand temporally-coherent flow fields, and from dynamical systems techniques that enable the identification of Lagrangian eddy boundaries from such flow fields (Abernathey & Haller, 2018;Haller & Beron-Vera, 2013;Haller et al, 2016Haller et al, , 2018Tarshish et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2015Wang et al, , 2016. The observed dependence of merger responses on AW eddies indicates that the relevant merger formation mechanisms may differ from those proposed by Radko (2007).…”
