Oceanography. Vertical mixing in the ocean.

Nature, 2001
The thermohaline circulation of the ocean results primarily from downwelling at sites in the Nordic and Labrador Seas and upwelling throughout the rest of the ocean. The latter is often described as being due to breaking internal waves. Here we reconcile the difference between theoretical and observed estimates of vertical mixing in the deep ocean by ...

Measurement of vertical noise directionality with a mixed-polarity vertical array

IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering, 2003
A novel array was designed and tested in the eastern Pacific Ocean for the measurement of the vertical directionality of ambient noise. The results of the test, conducted in 1983, illustrate the existence of a 5-dB "noise notch" for arrival angles associated only with submerged acoustic sources.

Vertical mixing in the deep ocean

Nature, 1974
SEVERAL authors1–3 have reported in situ observations of light scattering intensity in the deep ocean, which reveal the widespread occurrence of an ∼1 km thick layer of suspended mineral and organic matter above the ocean floor. The thickness of this nepheloid layer is several orders of magnitude greater than the characteristic thickness of the ...

LAMINAR FREE CONVECTION OF THE MIXING FLOWS IN VERTICAL CHANNELS

Numerical Heat Transfer, 1988
This paper is concerned with the numerical study of the heat transfer characteristics of the laminar mixing flow within a vertical channel. Free convection flows are induced by buoyant force from the subchannels and mix upward in the downstream main channel.

Vertical Mixing in Clear Air and Clouds

Journal of Applied Meteorology, 1993
The realization that clouds are diluted by the entrainment of dry air from outside the cloud boundaries began more than 40 years ago. Cloud-top entrainment was first clearly recognized by Squires in 1958. Warner and Squires showed that the dilution increased towards cloud top and was uniform across the cloud perpendicular to the shear.

Mixed convection along a vertical cone

International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer, 1989
An analysis is performed to study the flow and heat transfer characteristics for the case of laminar mixed convection along a vertical circular cone. A mixed-convection parameter is introduced in the formulation of the problem such that smooth transition from one convective limit to the other is possible.

Mixed convection in a vertical flat microchannel

International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 2017
Abstract The paper presents results of an investigation into mixed convection in a vertically oriented microchannel with slip boundary conditions. Solutions of the problem were obtained analytically and using a numerical approach based on the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM).

Vertical Mixing in Basin Waters of Fjords

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1989
Abstract The rate of work against the buoyancy forces due to vertical mixing (W) has been determined from repeated measurements of vertical density profiles in a large number of fjordic sill basins (basins dammed by sills). It is found that there is a weak “background” rate of work W0, probably driven by the local wind.

Vertical Mixing on the Bering Sea Shelf

1985
Recent studies of the Bering Sea marginal ice zone have focussed on the heat balance at the ice edge. The role of double-diffusive convection in supplying heat input to the ice is evaluated.

Vertical Mixing Due to Penetrative Convection

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 1968
Abstract A method for estimating environmental temperature and moisture increases due to penetrative convection is discussed. The estimates depend on the upward flux across the earth surface, the large-scale horizontal convergence, and the variation of entrainment of outside air by the convective element with height.
