2604.01245 Mesoscale Eddies Transport 3x More Heat Poleward Than Resolved by 1-Degree Ocean Models: Eddy-Resolving Simulation of the Southern Ocean
This study presents a comprehensive quantitative analysis of mesoscale eddies and its relationship to heat transport, drawing on multiple decades of observational data and high-resolution numerical simulations. We develop a novel statistical framework combining wavelet decomposition, Granger causality testing, and bootstrapped trend analysis to establish robust quantitative findings.
