The global dissipation caused by bottom boundary layer drag is one of the major pathways for the consumption of kinetic energy in the deep ocean. However, the spatial distribution and global integral of the drag dissipation are still debatable. This paper presents an updated estimate of the dissipation rate, using the barotropic component of surface geostrophic currents and 632 in situ velocity measurements. Also, the seafloor roughness is proposed as a parameter of drag efficiency in the parameterized method. The results provide a map of the drag dissipation rate with a global integral of ~0.26 TW. Approximately 66% of this dissipation occurs in the Southern Ocean, which is consistent with the proportion of wind power input into this region. Building upon the work in previous studies on the bottom boundary layer drag, more long-period observations are used, eliminating the influence of the baroclinic contribution to the surface geostrophic currents in the construction of the bottom velocity, and taking topographic roughness into account. The estimates have implications for the maintenance of density structure in the deep ocean and understanding of the kinetic energy budget.
