The dissipation of kinetic energy in the Lofoten Basin Eddy

Ocean microstructure, current and hydrography observations from June 2016 are used to characterize the turbulence structure of the Lofoten Basin Eddy (LBE), a long-lived anticyclone in the Norwegian Sea. The LBE had a azimuthal peak velocity of 0.8 ms−1 at 950 m depth and 22 km radial distance from...
