Abstract:Submesoscale processes significantly influence the air‐sea interaction, heat budget and the distribution of physical and biogeochemical tracers in the upper‐ocean. We study the spatiotemporal characteristics and generation mechanisms of submesoscale vertical heat transport (SVHT) at the Kuroshio Extension using a submesoscale‐permitting simulation. Compared with the commonly used Boxcar and Hanning filters, the clean‐cut feature of the Butterworth filter in the wavenumber domain makes it a proper filter to dia… Show more
