This article is a perspective on the recently discovered realm of submesoscale currents in
the ocean. They are intermediate-scale flow structures in the form of density fronts and …

Abstract The Antarctic Slope Current (ASC) is a coherent circulation feature that rings the
Antarctic continental shelf and regulates the flow of water toward the Antarctic coastline. The …

▪ Abstract The coexistence in the deep ocean of a finite, stable stratification, a strong
meridional overturning circulation, and mesoscale eddies raises complex questions …

The subject of ocean turbulence is in a state of discovery and development with many
intellectual challenges. This book describes the principal dynamic processes that control the …

Because of its relevance for the global climate the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation
(AMOC) has been a major research focus for many years. Yet the question of which physical …

This book addresses the problem of inferring the state of ocean circulation, understanding it
dynamically, and forecasting it through a quantitative combination of theory and observation …

The geometric complexity of coral reefs leads to interesting fluid mechanics problems at
scales ranging from those of coral colonies or even branches a few millimeters in diameter …

It is generally understood that small-scale mixing, such as is caused by breaking internal
waves, drives upwelling of the densest ocean waters that sink to the ocean bottom at high …

The coastal ocean meets the deep sea at the continental shelf edge. Questions of global
change entail elucidation of the processes that determine the quantities, transformation and …

The dynamics of lateral circulation in an idealized, straight estuary under varying
stratification conditions is investigated using a three-dimensional, hydrostatic, primitive …
