Characterization of the submesoscale energy cascade in the Alboran Sea thermocline from spectral analysis of high‐resolution MCS data

Abstract Part of the kinetic energy that maintains ocean circulation cascades down to small scales until it is dissipated through mixing. While most steps of this downward energy cascade are well understood, an observational gap exists at horizontal scales of 103–101 m that prevents characterizing a...
