Eddy Decay

Eddy Decay is a mesoscale eddy mixing process that describes the gradual dissipation of rotational kinetic energy and associated tracer variance in oceanic eddies due to nonlinear interactions, frictional effects, and lateral/vertical mixing, distinguishing it from eddy formation and propagation mechanisms within the life cycle of mesoscale eddies.
