英文摘要
Stratifified geostrophic turbulence theory predicts an inverse energy cascade for the barotropic (BT)
mode. Satellite altimetry has revealed a net inverse cascade in the baroclinic (BC) mode. Here the spatial variabilities
of BT and BC kinetic energy flfluxes in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) were investigated using ECCO2 data,
which synthesize satellite data and in situ measurements with an eddy-permitting general circulation model containing
realistic bathymetry and wind forcing. The BT and BC inverse kinetic energy cascades both reveal complex spatial
variations that could not be explained fully by classical arguments. For example, the BC injection scales match better
with most unstable scales than with the fifirst-mode deformation scales, but the opposite is true for the BT mode. In
addition, the BT and BC arrest scales do not follow the Rhines scale well in terms of spatial variation, but show better
consistency with their own energy-containing scales. The reverse cascade of the BT and BC modes was found related
to their EKE, and better correlation was found between the BT inverse cascade and barotropization. Speculations of
the fifindings were proposed; however, further observations and modeling experiments are needed to test these in
terpretations. Spectral flflux anisotropy exhibits a feature associated with oceanic jets that is consistent with classical
expectations. Specififically, the spectral flflux along the along-stream direction remains negative at scales up to that of the
studied domain (;2000 km), while that in the perpendicular direction becomes positive close to the scale of the width
of a typical jet.
