In this Review, we explore the dynamics of core gyres, jets and waves and discuss their impact on the magnetism and rotation of the Earth. The planetary gyre is anticyclonic, offset from the rotation axis towards low latitudes under the Atlantic hemisphere and involves flow speeds of 15-50km...
The turbulent oceanic flows consist of complex motions, jets, vortices and waves that co-exist on very different spatio-temporal scales, but also without clear scale separation. Mesoscale oceanic eddies populate nearly all parts of the global ocean and play important roles in maintaining the oceanic...
