RISMixed Layer Deepening Due to Langmuir Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interaction between wind-driven Langmuir circulation and preexisting stratification is examined in order to elucidate its role in the deepening of the ocean surface mixed layer. For linear stratification, a numerical ...
Patterns of Bubble Clouds organized by Langmuir Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A commonly observed property of near-surface bubble distributions is their collective organization into long rows aligned with the wind under the influence of Langmuir circulation. Time series observations with sonars ...
Is Langmuir Circulation Driven by Surface Waves or Surface Cooling?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ratio of the buoyancy force driving thermal convection to the surface wave vortex-force driving Langmuir circulation in the Craik?Leibovich mechanism involves the Hoenikker number Ho. The critical value Hoc, at which ...
Generation of Internal Lee Waves by Lateral Circulation in a Coastal Plain Estuary
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractRecent mooring observations at a cross-channel section in Chesapeake Bay showed that internal solitary waves regularly appeared during certain phases of a tidal cycle and propagated from the deep channel to the ...
Design and Experimental Validation of a Large-Displacement Constant-Force Mechanism
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the design and experimental validation of a passive large-displacement constant-force mechanism (CFM). Unlike previous studies, without using extra stiffness-compensation components and active control ...

Design and Experimental Validation of Two Cam-Based Force Regulation Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the design and experimental validation of two force regulation mechanisms (FRMs) containing a translational cam and a rotational cam, respectively. With the friction-considered profile identification ...
Large Eddy Simulations of Upper-Ocean Response to a Midlatitude Storm and Comparison with Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A large eddy simulation (LES) model is used to investigate an upper-ocean response to a fall storm in the open ocean of the North Pacific Ocean. The storm is characterized by rapid increases in wind speed and surface heat ...
Baroclinic Effects on Wind-Driven Lateral Circulation in Chesapeake Bay
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he 2-month-long mooring data were collected in a straight midsection of Chesapeake Bay to document the lateral circulation driven by along-channel winds. Under upestuary winds, the lateral circulation featured a clockwise ...
Asymmetric Tidal Mixing due to the Horizontal Density Gradient
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Stratification and turbulent mixing exhibit a flood?ebb tidal asymmetry in estuaries and continental shelf regions affected by horizontal density gradients. The authors use a large-eddy simulation (LES) model to investigate ...
