Ocean eddy kinetic energy at 1000 m depth estimated from Argo drift data from July 1997 to December 2015

Eddy kinetic energy at 1000 dbar depth estimated from Argo drift data from July 1997 to December 2015These are the data used to draw Fig.1 of Katsumata (2017b).Argo drift data from YoMaHa (Lebedev et al. 2017) is averagedin a quasi-circle with a radius of 300 km, deformed to followbathymetry, and deviation from the average is our eddy here.Detail of the method is found in Katsumata (2017a).Katsumata (2017a)Katsumata (2017b)Lebedev, K., H. Yoshinari, N. A. Maximenko, and P. W. Hacker,   (2007) YoMaHa’07: Velocity data assessed from trajectories of   Argo floats at parking level and at the sea surface.
