Vertical mixing in coastal canopies [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 2016 AbstractThe spatial extent over which meadows of submerged aquatic vegetation, such as seagrass, have an ecological and environmental influence is tightly limited by the exchange of water across canopy boundaries. In coastal environments, the process of vertical mixing can govern this material exchange, particularly when mean currents are weak. Despite

Radiocarbon age profiles and size dependency of mixing in Northeast Atlantic sediments [PDF]
, 2001 In recent years, the most common technique for radiocarbon dating of deep-ocean sediments has been accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) analysis of hand-picked planktonic foraminifera (forams).

Irradiated Atmospheres. I. Heating by Vertical-mixing-induced Energy Transport [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalObservations have revealed unique temperature profiles in hot Jupiter atmospheres. We propose that the energy transport by vertical mixing could lead to such thermal features. In our new scenario, strong absorbers, TiO, and VO are not necessary. Vertical

Using boundary layer equilibrium to reduce uncertainties in transport models and CO2 flux inversions [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011 This paper reexamines evidence for systematic errors in atmospheric transport models, in terms of the diagnostics used to infer vertical mixing rates from models and observations.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 The lateral bathymetry in the estuary results in different degrees of tidal mixing asymmetry, which has significant impacts on the longitudinal sediment transport by changing the temporal variation of vertical eddy diffusion.

The location of diapycnal mixing and the meridional overturning circulation [PDF]
, 2002 The large-scale consequences of diapycnal mixing location are explored using an idealized threedimensional model of buoyancy-forced flow in a single hemisphere. Diapycnal mixing is most effective in supporting a strong meridional overturning circulation (

Vertical mixing in oil spill modeling
, 2021 The main focus of marine oil spill modelling is often on where the oil will end up, i.e., on the horizontal transport. However, due to current shear, wind drag, and the different physical, chemical and biological processes that affect oil differently on the surface and in the water column, modelling the vertical distribution of the oil is essential for

Vertical mixing layer development [PDF]
European Journal of Mechanics - B/Fluids, 2014 a b s t r a c t A new generation of current and wave testing tanks is required to simulate more realistic sea conditions at larger scales. One means of producing a current is by using groups of impellers arranged around the perimeter of a circular tank. Each propeller produces a single flow velocity which may be different to its neighbours.

Quantifying vertical mixing in estuaries [PDF]
Environmental Fluid Mechanics, 2008 Estuarine turbulence is notable in that both the dissipation rate and the buoyancy frequency extend to much higher values than in other natural environments. The high dissipation rates lead to a distinct inertial subrange in the velocity and scalar spectra, which can be exploited for quantifying the turbulence quantities.
