Wind work on oceanic mesoscale eddies in the Northeast Tropical Pacific Ocean

The transfer of atmospheric kinetic energy to the ocean is one major concerns in climate research. According previous studies, work wind stress on oceanic mesoscale eddy negative most oceans, referred as “eddy killing”. However, another recent work, finds that an varies with interaction time. To better understand eddies, present study uses satellite remote sensing data and from 2000 2021 investigate effects eddies northeast tropical Pacific (NETP). demonstrates done by this region seasonally there a strong spatiotemporal link between curl. positive (negative) curl entire area cyclonic (negative), vice versa anticyclonic eddy. These results indicate input sensitive curl, do not always hinder area.
