Fig. 5: Comparison between eddy decay and near-inertial wave generation.
From: The hurricane-induced decay of mesoscale eddies: an energy source for near-inertial waves
Blue line shows volume-integrated eddy energy (EE) based on the combination of SLA data and ADCP data. Red line shows total interior-generation of the near-inertial energy (NIE) derived from ADCP data. Blue shading represents the uncertainty range derived from propagating the formal mapping error of the altimetry data. Red shading represents the uncertainty determined from sensitivity tests of the inertial-period averaging window.
