Characteristics of Langmuir Turbulence in the Ocean Mixed Layer [PDF]

, 2009
This study uses large-eddy simulation (LES) to investigate the characteristics of Langmuir turbulence through the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) budget. Based on an analysis of the TKE budget a velocity scale for Langmuir turbulence is proposed.

How Atmospheric Forcing Frequency, Horizontal and Vertical Grid Resolutions Impact Mesoscale Eddy Evolution in a Numerical Model

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
Seasonal evolution of both surface signature and subsurface structure of a Mediterranean mesoscale anticyclones is assessed using the Coastal and Regional Ocean Community high‐resolution numerical model with realistic background stratification and fluxes.

On the miscible Rayleigh-Taylor instability: two and three dimensions [PDF]

, 2001
We investigate the miscible Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability in both 2 and 3 dimensions using direct numerical simulations, where the working fluid is assumed incompressible under the Boussinesq approximation.

Mixed Layer Depth Promotes Trophic Amplification on a Seasonal Scale

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
The Humboldt Upwelling System is of global interest due to its importance to fisheries, though the origin of its high productivity remains elusive. In regional physical‐biogeochemical model simulations, the seasonal amplitude of mesozooplankton net ...

Recent large-scale mixed layer and vertical stratification maxima changes

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The warming climate is causing a strengthening of ocean stratification. Ocean stratification, in turn, has significant impacts on physical, biogeochemical and ecological processes, such as ocean circulation, ventilation, air-sea interactions, nutrient ...

Mixed-metal pillared layer clays and their pillaring precursors [PDF]

, 1997
Mixed-metal pillared layer clays (Fe,Al-PILCs and Cr,Al-PILCs) of various compositions and the pillaring precursors have been prepared and characterised with a combination of chemical and instrumental methods.

Moisture and dynamical interactions maintaining decoupled Arctic mixed-phase stratocumulus in the presence of a humidity inversion [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011
Observations suggest that processes maintaining subtropical and Arctic stratocumulus differ, due to the different environments in which they occur.

Tracer Transport within Abyssal Mixing Layers [PDF]

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2019
AbstractMixing layers near sloped topography in the abyss are thought to play a critical role in the global overturning circulation. Yet the behavior of passive tracers within sloping boundary layer systems has received little attention, despite the extensive use of tracer observations to understand abyssal circulation.

Unravelling nutrient dynamics and mixed layer depth variability in the equatorial Atlantic: insights from 10°W meridional section monitoring

Frontiers in Marine Science
The ocean, a pivotal component of the Earth’s climate system, exerts a profound global influence through intricate physical and biological interactions within its surface layer.
