Precession Effects on Liquid Planetary Core
, 2017 Motivated by the desire to understand the rich dynamics of precessionally driven flow in the liquid planetary core, we investigate, through numerical simulations, the precessing fluid motion in a rotating cylindrical annulus which possesses slow ...

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Balanced to Unbalanced Motions at a Submesoscale Front and Energy Transfer From Eddy Splitting
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract Submesoscale dynamics play a crucial role in energy redistribution in the upper ocean but remain challenging to observe due to their small spatial and temporal scales. We use ship‐based observations of an oceanic submesoscale front sampled at high resolution while repeatedly traversed to observe deformation and splitting of an embedded ...

Aspects of the circulation in the Rockall Trough [PDF]
, 2001 An investigation is made of the circulation and structure of the water masses in the Rockall Trough in spring, combining the results of a recent synoptic survey (May 1998) with those from a high-resolution ocean circulation model.

A Submesoscale Cascade‐Driven Mesoscale Seasonal Cycle in the Subtropics
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract We show that the submesoscale inverse cascade almost entirely drives the mesoscale kinetic energy (KE) seasonal cycle in the interior subtropical gyre. Using a coarse‐graining framework to diagnose cross‐scale energy fluxes (Πh ${{\Pi }}_{h}$), we show the forward cascade remains confined to <20 km within the mixed layer, peaking January–March.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract Interannual variability of the Beaufort Sea (BFS) ice notably affects the oceanic circulation, pelagic and sympagic ecosystems, and navigation activities. However, key physical pathways regulating interseasonal connections between the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and BFS ice concentration anomalies in early‐summer (May–July) remain ...

The sensitivity of rapidly rotating Rayleigh--B\'enard convection to Ekman pumping
, 2017 The dependence of the heat transfer, as measured by the nondimensional Nusselt number $Nu$, on Ekman pumping for rapidly rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in an infinite plane layer is examined for fluids with Prandtl number $Pr = 1$.

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Sediments on Arctic continental shelves are impacted by sea ice and ice‐related processes for up to 9 months per year. As a result, seabed morphology in cold regions can exhibit features such as ice scours which are absent on lower‐latitude shelves.
