Turbulent mixing in the ocean exerts an important control on the rate and structure of the
overturning circulation. However, the balance of processes underpinning this mixing is …

In this chapter, we discuss the links between oceanic submesoscale (100 m–10 km)
processes and mixing. Submesoscale currents occur on lateral scales of 100 m–10 km in …

Although submesoscale coherent vortices (SCVs) have been observed in different parts of
the world's oceans, most of them were captured by accident by a limited number of …

Submesoscale currents, comprising fronts and mixed-layer eddies, exhibit a dual cascade of
kinetic energy: a forward cascade to dissipation scales at fronts and an inverse cascade …

Large eddy simulations are employed to investigate the role of tidal modulation strength on
wake vortices and dissipation in flow past three‐dimensional topography, specifically a …

Current–topography interactions in the ocean give rise to eddies spanning a wide range of
spatial and temporal scales. The latest modeling efforts indicate that coastal and underwater …

Seasonal variability and the effect of bottom interaction on the dynamics of the along-slope
boundary current flowing around the Levantine Basin are investigated using nested high …

Generating mechanisms and parameterizations for enhanced turbulence in the wake of a
seamount in the path of the Kuroshio are investigated. Full-depth profiles of finescale …

A set of realistic coastal simulations in California allows for the exploration of surface gravity
wave effects on currents (WEC) in an active submesoscale current regime. We use a new …

A current along a sloping bottom gives rise to upwelling, or downwelling Ekman transport
within the stratified bottom boundary layer (BBL), also known as the bottom Ekman layer. In …
