Scintillations of LED sources in oceanic turbulence

open access: yesApplied Optics, 2016
The scintillation index of light emitting diode (LED) sources is evaluated when such sources are employed in oceanic wireless optical communication (UWOC) links. In the formulation, LED source radiation is taken to be perfectly incoherent with a Gaussian field distribution.

Expressing oceanic turbulence parameters by atmospheric turbulence structure constant

Applied Optics, 2016
The parameters composing oceanic turbulence are the wavelength, link length, rate of dissipation of kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid, rate of dissipation of mean-squared temperature, Kolmogorov microscale, and the ratio of temperature to salinity contributions to the refractive index spectrum.

Phytoplankton's motion in turbulent ocean

Physical Review E, 2015
We study the influence of turbulence on upward motion of phytoplankton. Interaction with the flow is described by the Pedley-Kessler model considering spherical microorganisms. We find a range of parameters when the upward drift is only weakly perturbed or when turbulence completely randomizes the drift direction.

Light scattering on oceanic turbulence

Applied Optics, 2004
Turbulent inhomogeneities of fluid flow have the effect of scattering light in near-forward angles, thus providing an opportunity to use optics to quantify turbulence. Here we report measurements of the volume-scattering function in the range of 10(-7) to 10(-3) rad using a wave-front sensing technique.

Intensity and coherence properties of light in oceanic turbulence

open access: yesOptics Communications, 2012
Using the Rytov method and Belen'kii and Mironov's method of effective beam parameters for strong turbulence regimes, the intensity and coherence properties of a Gaussian beam propagating through the clear-water turbulent ocean are explored.

Turbulence and mixing in the ocean

Reviews of Geophysics, 1995
Without turbulence and the mixing it causes, we would not have the same ocean that we do now, nor indeed the same climate. Turbulent mixing brings nutrients into the surface layer from below so that plankton can grow. Turbulence near the surface, driven by surface winds and cooling, transmits heat in and out of the ocean to create the reservoir of heat

Langmuir turbulence in the ocean

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1997
Solutions are analysed from large-eddy simulations of the phase-averaged equations for oceanic currents in the surface planetary boundary layer (PBL), where the averaging is over high-frequency surface gravity waves. These equations have additional terms proportional to the Lagrangian Stokes drift of the waves, including vortex and ...

Rogue waves in oceanic turbulence

Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2008
A stochastic model of wave groups is presented to explain the occurrence of exceptionally large waves, usually referred to as rogue waves. The model leads to the description of the non-Gaussian statistics of large waves in oceanic turbulence and to a new asymptotic distribution of their crest heights in a form that generalizes the Tayfun model. The new
