  abstract = {{T}he ocean dynamical responses to the surface current-wind stress interaction at the oceanic mesoscale are investigated in the {S}outh-{E}ast {P}acific using a high-resolution regional ocean-atmosphere coupled model. {T}wo simulations are compared: one includes the surface current in the wind stress computation while the other does not. {I}n the coastal region, absolute wind velocities are different between the two simulations but the wind stress remains very similar. {A}s a consequence, the mean regional oceanic circulation is almost unchanged. {O}n the contrary, the mesoscale activity is strongly reduced when taking into account the effect of the surface current on the wind stress. {T}his is caused by a weakening of the eddy kinetic energy generation near the coast by the wind work and to intensified offshore eddy damping. {W}e show that, above coherent eddies, the current-stress interaction generates eddy damping through {E}kman pumping and eddy kinetic energy dissipation through wind work. {T}his alters significantly the coherent eddy vertical structures compared with the control simulation, weakening the temperature and vorticity anomalies and increasing strongly the vertical velocity anomalies associated to eddies.},
