A Description of Local and Nonlocal Eddy-Mean Flow Interaction in a Global Eddy-Permitting State Estimate
The assumption that local baroclinic instability dominates eddy-mean flow interactions is tested on a global scale using a dynamically consistent eddy-permitting state estimate. Interactions are divided into local and nonlocal. If all the energy released from the mean flow through eddy-mean flow int...
