Abstract: A three-dimensional nonhydrostatic numerical model is used to calculate nonlinear energy transfers within decaying Garrett?Munk internal wavefields. Inviscid wave interactions are calculated over horizontal scales from ...

Abstract: The Lagrangian properties of a high-resolution, three-dimensional, direct numerical simulation of Kelvin? Helmholtz (K?H) instability are examined with the goal of assessing the ability of Lagrangian measurements to determine ...

Abstract: irect numerical simulation (DNS) is used to investigate the role of shear instabilities in turbulent mixing in a model of the upper Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC). The background flow consists of a westward-moving surface ...

Abstract: ynamical processes leading to deep-cycle turbulence in the Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC) are investigated using a high-resolution large-eddy simulation (LES) model. Components of the model include a background flow similar ...

Abstract: large fraction of the kinetic energy in the ocean is stored in the ?quasigeostrophic? eddy field. This ?balanced? eddy field is expected, according to geostrophic turbulence theory, to transfer energy to larger scales. In ...

Abstract: he effects of internal waves (IWs), externally forced by high-frequency wind, on energy pathways are studied in submesoscale-resolving numerical simulations of an idealized wind-driven channel flow. Two processes are ...
