Asymmetry of Submesoscale Instabilities in Anticyclonic and Cyclonic Eddies

Abstract The upper‐ocean relative vorticity has been found to be cyclonically skewed, but altimetry observations indicate that long‐lifespan mesoscale eddies tend to be anticyclonic. We are thus interested in whether cyclonic or anticyclonic eddies are more unstable under similar circumstances. Here...
