MPI für Meteorologie🌬️ What keeps the surface winds blowing across the equatorial oceans?
A new study by #MPI_scientist Marius Winkler & colleagues using ICON at 5 km resolution suggests that classical approaches fall short and that vertical and horizontal momentum transport are essential to maintaining equatorial winds. They develop a revised wind model that captures these dynamics and outperforms classical approaches.
