| he rate of ocean heat uptake depends on the mechanisms that transport heat between the surface and the ocean interior. A recent study found that the vertical heat transport driven by motions with scales smaller than 50 km (submesoscales) and frequencies smaller than one day‐1 is upward. This transport competes with the other major components of the global heat transport, namely the downward heat transport explained by the large‐scale wind‐driven vertical circulation and vertical diffusion at small scales, and the upward heat transport associated with mesoscale eddies (50‐300 km size). The contribution from motions with small spatial scales (< 50 km) and frequencies larger than one day‐1, including internal gravity waves, has never been explicitly... |
