Ocean Circulation Kinetic Energy: Reservoirs, Sources, and Sinks (2009, background): “…noise contributions to wavelengths shorter than 100-200km. Additional support for the geostrophic turbulence paradigm has come from observational (Maximenko et al., 2005) and computational (Nakano and Hasumi, 2005; Qiu et al., 2008) evidence of multiple alternating zonal jets primarily, but not…”
On the arrest of inverse energy cascade and the rhines scale (2006, background): “However, averaging in time reveals zonation (see, e.g., Maximenko et al. 2005; Ollitrault et al. 2006) and spectral anisotropization (Zang and Wunsch 2001) suggesting that R is rather close to 2.”
