Coupling between Abyssal Boundary Layers and the Interior Ocean in the Absence of Along-Slope Variations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To close the overturning circulation, dense bottom water must upwell via turbulent mixing. Recent studies have identified thin bottom boundary layers (BLs) as locations of intense upwelling, yet it remains unclear how they ...
Seasonality and Spatial Dependence of Mesoscale and Submesoscale Ocean Currents from Along-Track Satellite Altimetry
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Along-track wavenumber spectral densities of sea surface height (SSH) are estimated from
Dynamics of Eddying Abyssal Mixing Layers over Sloping Rough Topography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The abyssal overturning circulation is thought to be primarily driven by small-scale turbulent mixing. Diagnosed water-mass transformations are dominated by rough topography “hotspots,” where the bottom enhancement of ...
