In line with national increases in their numbers and range, nightjars have prospered here recently. It seems especially so with the clearance of conifers, which has left a mix of old Scots pine and open space perfectly suited...

Generative data assimilation highlights fronts as key regulators of ocean energy cascade

Announce Type: new Abstract: Mesoscale eddies are fundamental to the ocean circulation, yet the extent to which submesoscale motions, a few kilometers across, influence mesoscale eddy energetics through a kinetic energy cascade remains uncertain. High-resolution simulations predict that submesoscale fronts are key regulators of the cascade, transferring energy both downscale towards dissipation and upscale to sustain and shape the seasonality of mesoscale eddies.
