Abstract: A recent parameterization of mesoscale eddies by Gent and McWilliams (GMc) represents their effects as advective and diffusive fluxes along isopycnals. The form chosen for the added transport velocity due to eddies flattens ...

Abstract: The restratification of a mixed layer with horizontal density gradients above a stratified layer is considered. Solutions are obtained on the assumption that the width across this front is much larger than the local radius ...

Abstract: Finite-amplitude Langmuir circulation in the form of rolls parallel to the wind direction is shown to be subject to three-dimensional instability under certain circumstances. Density stratification is not required for ...

Abstract: Forcing by wind stress and air?sea buoyancy flux climatologies between σt = 23.5 and 26.5 results in differing water mass transformations in the North Atlantic, reflecting the opposing tendencies of wind stress and air?sea ...

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: his paper describes the occurrence of diurnal restratification events found in the southeast trade wind regime off northern Chile. This is a region where persistent marine stratus clouds are found and where there is a less ...

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 ...
