Fourier Representation of Quadratic Friction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: If a current is composed of a number of constituents with different frequencies, then quadratic friction may be analyzed at the same frequencies. The ratios of the constituents of the friction differ from the ratios for ...
Near-Field Wind Mixing and Implications on Parameterization from Float Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Efficiency of Mixing Forced by Unsteady Shear Flow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dependence of mixing efficiency on time-varying forcing is studied by direct numerical simulation (DNS) of Kelvin?Helmholtz (KH) instability. Time-dependent forcing fields are designed to reproduce a wavelike oscillation ...
Wind-induced mixing in the North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: emporal variability of the winter input of wind energy flux (wind power) and its relationship to internal wave fields were examined in the North Pacific. The dominant long-term variability of the wind power input, estimated ...
Numerical Simulation of the Kuroshio Flowing over the Hirase Seamount in the Tokara Strait in Autumn: Tidal Vortex Shedding in a Baroclinic Jet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
An Estimation of Buoyancy Flux for a Mixture of Turbulence and Double Diffusion
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Microstructure measurements were made in the Mixed Water Region of the Oyashio/Kuroshio/Tsugaru currents system where both turbulence and double diffusion are involved in mixing. While intense turbulence is observed near ...
Energetic Stratified Turbulence Generated by Kuroshio–Seamount Interactions in Tokara Strait
