Abstract: If wave breaking modifies the Lagrangian fluid paths by inducing an uncertainty in the orbit itself and this uncertainty on wave motion time scales is observable as additive noise, it is shown that within the context of a ...

Abstract: The diffusion kernel filter is a sequential particle-method approach to data assimilation of time series data and evolutionary models. The method is applicable to nonlinear/non-Gaussian problems. Within branches of prediction ...

Abstract: A box model of the thermohaline circulation with mixed boundary conditions in which advective processes are incorporated via an explicit time delay mechanism is considered. The pipes that connect the subtropical and subpolar ...

Abstract: The authors consider the transport velocity in boundary layer flows driven by either noisy monochromatic progressive or standing waves. The central issue addressed here is whether such flows are capable of sustaining a ...

Abstract: Oceanic surface gravity waves have a mean Lagrangian motion, the Stokes drift. The dynamics of wind-driven, basin-scale oceanic currents in the presence of Stokes drift are modified by the addition of so-called vortex ...

Abstract: he new concept of an ensemble bred vector (EBV) algorithm is introduced to assess the sensitivity of model outputs to changes in initial conditions for weather forecasting. The new algorithm is based on collective dynamics ...

Abstract: hitecapping affects the Reynolds stresses near the ocean surface. A model for the conservative dynamics of waves and currents is modified to include the averaged effect of multiple, short-lived, and random wave-breaking ...
