The Role of Eddies in Global Oceanic Meridional Heat Transport

Eddy meridional heat transport (EMHT) in the World Ocean is calculated using the eddy-resolving model. Its distribution is related to intense eddies and forms several typical structural types. The comparison with the results of other models shows that an explicit description of eddy dynamics is pref...

Description
Summary:Eddy meridional heat transport (EMHT) in the World Ocean is calculated using the eddy-resolving model. Its distribution is related to intense eddies and forms several typical structural types. The comparison with the results of other models shows that an explicit description of eddy dynamics is preferable for correct reproduction of EMHT.
