Turbulent wave-balance exchanges in the ocean

J Thomas - Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 2023 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Oceanic flows are turbulent and multi-scale in nature, and are composed of fast internal
waves and slowly evolving balanced eddies. Contrary to conventional wisdom in physical …

Forward flux and enhanced dissipation of geostrophic balanced energy

J Thomas, D Daniel - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2021 - cambridge.org
A broad spectrum of internal gravity waves coexist with the geostrophic balanced flow in the
world's oceans. Satellite altimeter data sets, in situ observations and global scale ocean …

A new open source implementation of Lagrangian filtering: A method to identify internal waves in high‐resolution simulations

CJ Shakespeare, AH Gibson… - Journal of Advances …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Identifying internal waves in complex flow fields is a long‐standing problem in fluid

An idealized model study of eddy energetics in the western boundary “graveyard”

Z Yang, X Zhai, DP Marshall… - Journal of Physical …, 2021 - journals.ametsoc.org
Recent studies show that the western boundary acts as a “graveyard” for westward-
propagating ocean eddies. However, how the eddy energy incident on the western …
