Incorporating tides and internal gravity waves within global ocean general circulation models: A review
BK Arbic - Progress in Oceanography, 2022 - Elsevier
Until recently, high-resolution global modeling of tides has been done separately from high-
resolution global modeling of the atmospherically-forced oceanic general circulation. Here …

Summertime increases in upper-ocean stratification and mixed-layer depth
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 …

Ocean submesoscales as a key component of the global heat budget
Recent studies highlight that oceanic motions associated with horizontal scales smaller than
50 km, defined here as submesoscales, lead to anomalous vertical heat fluxes from colder to …

Direct observational evidence of an oceanic dual kinetic energy cascade and its seasonality
The ocean's turbulent energy cycle has a paradox; large-scale eddies under the control of
Earth's rotation transfer kinetic energy (KE) to larger scales via an inverse cascade, while a …

Ocean‐scale interactions from space
Satellite observations of the last two decades have led to a major breakthrough emphasizing
the existence of a strongly energetic mesoscale turbulent eddy field in all the oceans. This …

Kinetic energy transfers between mesoscale and submesoscale motions in the open ocean's upper layers
Mesoscale eddies contain the bulk of the ocean's kinetic energy (KE), but fundamental
questions remain on the cross-scale KE transfers linking eddy generation and dissipation …

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 …
