2D-3D interactions in a thin rotating fluid : implications for the energetics of ocean circulation
The general circulation of the ocean acts as an energy reservoir. This means that the external forcing (primarily by the wind field) is balanced by dissipation. However, the dissipation is not well understood because energy does not easily cascade forward to small scales where dissipation is active....
