The Role of Small‐Scale Topography in Modulating Eddy Scale in the Northern South China Sea

Z Yang, Z Jing, X Zhai - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
A high‐resolution nested model initialized with either smooth or synthetically generated
rough topography is used to investigate the role of small‐scale topography in modulating …

Influence of lee wave breaking on far‐field mixing in the deep ocean

K Zheng, Z Zhang, Z Yang, H Sun… - Journal of …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Breaking of internal lee waves generated by flow‐topography interaction is an important
driving mechanism for abyssal mixing. By assuming that lee‐wave‐driven mixing is a local …

Energy sinks for lee waves in the northern South China Sea

Z Yang, Z Jing, X Zhai - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Recent observations report a discrepancy between observed energy dissipation rates and
lee wave pressure flux predicted by linear theory in the Southern Ocean, raising the …

Greenhouse warming reduces global energy conversion into oceanic lee waves

Z Yang, Z Jing, X Zhai - Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Oceanic lee waves play an important role in dissipating wind‐driven ocean circulations and
powering turbulent diapycnal mixing. Here we investigate impacts of the greenhouse …
