Abstract

Physical processes by which mesoscale eddies affect subduction remain unclear. Here, through a specially designed eddy-resolving field experiment, the authors capture the eddy enhancement of mode water subduction and transport, and confirm the dominance of eddy lateral advection over the eddy trapping effect.
