Vertical flow in the Southern Ocean estimated from individual moorings

In this study, we demonstrate that oceanic vertical velocities can be estimated from individual mooring measurements, even for non-stationary flow. This result is obtained under three assumptions: i. weak diffusion (Péclet number ?1), ii. weak friction (Reynolds number ?1), and iii. small inertial...
