We are very grateful to Arnaud Czaja for help with calculation of spectra and for useful comments. We thank the reviewer for comments that helped us to clarify some of the discussion. This work was funded by a fellowship from the European Union and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. Support for computations was provided by the Institut du Développement et des Recources en Information Scientifique (IDRIS). The CLIPPER project was supported by the Institut Nationale des Sciences de l’Univers (INSU), the Institut Francais de Recherche pour l’Exploitation de la Mer (IFREMER), the Service Hydrographique et Océanographique de la Marine (SHOM) and the Centre Nationale d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES).
