Abstract: The effects of non-breaking surface waves on upper ocean dynamics enter the wave-averaged primitive equations through the Stokes drift. Through the resulting upper ocean dynamics, Stokes drift is a catalyst for the fluxes ...

Abstract: AbstractUsing direct numerical simulations (DNS), Deike et al. found that the wave-breaking-induced mass transport, or drift, at the surface for a single breaking wave scales linearly with the slope of a focusing wave ...
