The spatiotemporal variation of the wind-induced near-inertial energy flux in the mixed layer of the South China Sea
On the basis of the QSCAT/NCEP blended wind data and simple ocean data assimilation (SODA), the wind-induced near-inertial energy flux (NIEF) in the mixed layer of the South China Sea (SCS) is estimated by a s...
