Breaking waves modulate the transfer of energy, momentum, and mass between the ocean
and atmosphere, controlling processes critical to the climate system, from gas exchange of …

The surface mixed layer of the world ocean regulates global climate by controlling heat and
carbon exchange between the atmosphere and the oceanic interior,–. The mixed layer also …

Over the past several decades, there has developed a community-wide appreciation for the
importance of mixing at the smallest scales to geophysical fluid dynamics on all scales. This …

Plastics and spilled oil pose a critical threat to marine life and human health. As a result of
wind forcing and wave motions, theoretical and laboratory studies predict very strong …

The transfer of gases at the ocean‐atmosphere interface impacts weather and climate from
local to global scales, with carbon dioxide (CO2) key to marine life and ecosystems, and …

The flow generated by the breaking of free-surface waves in a periodic domain is simulated
numerically with a gas–liquid Navier–Stokes solver. The solver relies on the volume-of-fluid …

Microplastics are globally ubiquitous in marine environments, and their concentration is
expected to continue rising at significant rates as a result of human activity. They present a …

Whitecap Coverage Dependence on Wind and Wave Statistics as Observed during SO

The Lagrangian transport due to non-breaking and breaking focusing wave packets is
examined. We present direct numerical simulations of the two-phase air–water Navier …
