英文摘要The Agulhas retroflection (AR) region possesses the highest eddy kinetic energy (EKE) level in the Indian Ocean. However, mechanisms regulating EKE of the AR remain uncertain. Here, by analyzing an eddy-resolving coupled model simulation with improved EKE representation, we show that the upper-ocean EKE of the AR is mainly generated through barotropic instability in its upstream and leakage zones and is by nonlocal transport in its downstream zone. The interaction between mesoscale eddies and local winds plays a key role in EKE dissipation. The lack of eddy-wind interaction results in flawed EKE budget in the leakage zone in ocean-alone models, leading to severe biases in EKE distribution with overestimation and over-strong penetration into the South Atlantic. Our results highlight the essence of mesoscale air-sea interaction in the dynamics of the AR, with implications for understanding the inter-basin transport of the Agulhas leakage.
