Abstract:
The meridional flux of zonal momentum associated with intraseasonal variability acts to maintain lower frequency varying zonal currents in the equatorial ocean, in particular the equatorial deep jets The mechanism is demonstrated using both an idealized primitive equation model and using momentum fluxes computed from mooring data on, and either side of, the equator at 23°W in the Atlantic Analysis of the mooring data shows that the same mechanism also supports the seasonal cycle in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean
