Abstract: A three-dimensional large-eddy simulation (LES) model was used to examine how stratified flow interacts with bottom obstacles in the coastal ocean. Bottom terrain representing a 2D ridge was modeled using a finite-volume ...

Abstract: Evolution of a thermally stratified diurnal warm layer (DWL), including the formation and decay of a daytime surface-layer jet, high-frequency internal waves, and mixing were examined from observations collected during ...

Abstract: Several models now exist for predicting the dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy, ?, in the oceanic thermocline as a function of the large-scale properties of the internal gravity wave field. These models are based ...

Abstract: Turbulent mixing adjacent to the Velasco Reef and Kyushu–Palau Ridge, off northern Palau in the western equatorial Pacific Ocean, is examined using shipboard and moored observations. The study focuses on a 9-day-long, ...
