A holistic review is given of the Southern Ocean dynamic system, in the context of the crucial
role it plays in the global climate and the profound changes it is experiencing. The review …

We study the generation, propagation, and dissipation of wind-generated near-inertial
waves (NIWs) in a global 1/25° Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) simulation with …

Submesoscale currents and internal gravity waves achieve an intense turbulent cascade
near the ocean surface [depth of 0–O (100) m], which is thought to give rise to significant …

Abstract The Southern Ocean (SO) connects major ocean basins and hosts large air‐sea
carbon fluxes due to the resurfacing of deep nutrient and carbon‐rich waters. While wind …

Lee waves generated by stratified flow over rough bottom topography in the ocean extract
momentum and energy from the geostrophic flow, causing drag and enhancing turbulence …

Oceanic lee waves are generated when quasi‐steady flows interact with rough topography
at the bottom of the ocean, providing an important sink of energy and momentum from the …

Breaking internal tides contribute substantially to small-scale turbulent mixing in the ocean
interior and hence to maintaining the large-scale overturning circulation. How much internal …

Identifying internal waves in complex flow fields is a long‐standing problem in fluid
dynamics, oceanography and atmospheric science, owing to the overlap of internal waves …

The lower cell of the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) is sourced by dense Antarctic
Bottom Waters (AABWs), which form and sink around Antarctica and subsequently fill the …

The dissipation and mixing associated with topographically generated internal waves form a
critical component of ocean physics. In this chapter, we present a review of the basic …
