Abstract: AbstractWithin the pycnocline, where diapycnal mixing is suppressed, both the vertical movement (uplift) of isopycnal surfaces and upward motion along sloping isopycnals supply nutrients to the euphotic layer, but the ...

Abstract: sing a process study model, the effect of mixed layer submesoscale instabilities on the lateral mixing of passive tracers in the pycnocline is explored. Mixed layer eddies that are generated from the baroclinic instability ...

Abstract: The incompressibility and hydrostatic approximations that are traditionally used in large-scale oceanography to make the hydrodynamic equations more amenable to numerical integration result in the primitive equations. These ...

Abstract: The nonhydrostatic model with a free surface is numerically implemented in boundary-fitted curvilinear coordinates to model the mesoscale circulation in an ocean basin with natural topography. A semi-implicit numerical ...

Abstract: hile near-inertial waves are known to be generated by atmospheric storms, recent observations in the Kuroshio Front find intense near-inertial internal-wave shear along sloping isopycnals, even during calm weather. Recent ...

Abstract: Changes in axial atmospheric angular momentum M are related to zonal torques on the atmosphere, but studies reveal large imbalances between the estimated torques and M variations on seasonal timescales. The observed ...
