Spectral signatures of the tropical Pacific dynamics from model and altimetry: a focus on the meso-/submesoscale range

<p>The processes that contribute to the flat sea surface height (SSH) wavenumber spectral slopes observed in the tropics by satellite altimetry are examined in the tropical Pacific. The tropical dynamics are first investigated with a 1∕12° global model. The equatorial region from 10°&t...
