摘要

A statistical-equilibrium, geostrophic-turbulence regime of the stochastically forced, one-layer, reduced-gravity, quasigeostrophic model is identified in which the numerical solutions are representative of global mean, midlatitude, open-ocean mesoscale variability. Solutions are forced near the internal deformation wavenumber and damped linearly and by high-wavenumber enstrophy dissipation. The results partially rationalize a recent semiempirical stochastic field model of mesoscale variability motivated by a global eddy identification and tracking analysis of two decades of satellite altimeter sea surface height (SSH) observations. Comparisons of model results with observed SSH variance, autocorrelation, eddy, and spectral statistics place constraints on the model parameters. A nominal best fit is obtained for a dimensional SSH stochastic-forcing variance production rate of 1/4 cm(2) day(-1), an SSH damping rate of 1/62 week(-1), and a stochastic forcing autocorrelation time scale near or greater than 1 week. This ocean mesoscale regime is nonlinear and appears to fall near the stochastic limit, at which wave-mean interaction is just strong enough to begin to reduce the local mesoscale variance production, but is still weak relative to the overall nonlinearity. Comparison of linearly inverted wavenumber-frequency spectra shows that a strong effect of nonlinearity, the removal of energy from the resonant linear wave field, is resolved by the gridded altimeter SSH data. These inversions further suggest a possible signature in the merged altimeter SSH dataset of signal propagation characteristics from the objective analysis procedure.
