Eulerian Volume Transport Induced by Spatially Damped Internal Equatorial Kelvin Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Eulerian volume transport in internal equatorial Kelvin waves subject to viscous attenuation is investigated theoretically by integrating the horizontal momentum equations in the vertical. In terms of small perturbations, ...
Ekman Currents and Mixing due to Surface Gravity Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The steady Ekman boundary-layer current is studied theoretically for the case when the eddy viscosity is proportional to the shear of the wave orbital velocity in a turbulent wave, times the square of a mixing length ...
Wave Attenuation and Wave Drift in the Marginal Ice Zone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Surface gravity waves in a viscous rotating ocean are studied theoretically when they penetrate an area covered by highly concentrated brashlike ice. The motion is described by a Lagrangian formulation, and the brash is ...
Wave-Induced Mass Transport in the Oceanic Surface Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mean mass transport induced by surface gravity waves is investigated theoretically for a deep, rotating ocean with a constant eddy viscosity. The waves are periodic in time and have amplitudes that grow or decay slowly ...
Friction-Induced Roll Motion in Short-Crested Surface Gravity Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Induced streaming due to deep water surface gravity waves propagating at oblique angles to each other is studied theoretically on the basis of a Lagrangian description. The ocean is slightly viscous, and the primary waves ...
Steady Wind- and Wave-Induced Currents in the Open Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Steady wind-drift currents in a deep viscous rotating ocean are studied theoretically. The analysis is based on the Lagrangian description of motion. A mean wind-stress at the surface yields the traditional Ekman current. ...
Transient Ocean Currents Induced by Wind and Growing Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A theoretical nonlinear model for wind- and wave-induced currents in a viscous, rotating ocean is developed. The analysis is based on a Lagrangian description of motion. The nonlinear drift problem is formulated such that ...
Mass Transport Velocity in Free Barotropic Poincaré Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mass transport velocity induced by long surface waves in a shallow, rotating viscous ocean is studied theoretically by using a Lagrangian description of motion. The depth is constant, and the water is homogeneous. Such ...
Effect of an Insoluble Surface Film on the Drift Velocity of Capillary–Gravity Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The drift velocity due to capillary-gravity waves in a deep ocean is investigated theoretically. The surface is covered by an insoluble, inextensible film, and the analysis is based an a Lagrangian description of motion. ...
Mass Transport in the Stokes Edge Wave for Constant Arbitrary Bottom Slope in a Rotating Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Lagrangian mass transport in the Stokes surface edge wave is obtained from the vertically integrated equations of momentum and mass in a viscous rotating ocean, correct to the second order in wave steepness. The analysis ...
