Abstract: Data obtained from the cycling mode of a towed system operated in the North Pacific are used to investigate the relationship of small-scale mixing to the finestructure which seems to be such a common characteristic of ...

Abstract: urbulence in the ocean surface layer is generated by time-varying combinations of destabilizing surface buoyancy flux, wind stress forcing, and wave forcing through a vortex force associated with the surface wave field. ...

Abstract: xisting large-eddy simulations (LES) of Langmuir supercells (LS) do not include rotational terms. Despite the fact that the actual coastal ocean is certainly affected by rotation, such simulations are found to provide ...

Abstract: Observations of turbulent energy dissipation rate ? in the deep surface mixed layer at a mid-Sargasso site are presented: two occupations of this site include a large range of local meteorological forcing. Two frontal ...

Abstract: We present time series of tritium (3H) concentrations at varying depths in the water column at Ocean Station P(50°N, 145°W) in the northeast Pacific. Measurements started in the fall of 1974, at the time of the GEOSECS ...

Abstract: Results from three separate velocity profilers operated nearly simultaneously in the northwest Atlantic in 1975 are used to form a composite shear spectrum over vertical wavelengths from 100 m down to a few centimeters. ...
