Marine plastic debris floating on the ocean surface is a major environmental problem.
However, its distribution in the ocean is poorly mapped, and most of the plastic waste …

During its periodic motion, a particle floating at the free surface of a water wave experiences
a net drift velocity in the direction of wave propagation, known as the Stokes drift (Stokes …

The turbulent mixing in thin ocean surface boundary layers (OSBL), which occupy the upper
100 m or so of the ocean, control the exchange of heat and trace gases between the …

In the long term development of the research on wind waves and their modelling, in
particular of the inner and coastal seas, the present situation is framed with a short look at …

A signature of submesoscale flows in the upper ocean is skewness in the distribution of
relative vorticity. Expected to result for high Rossby number flows, such skewness has …

The NEMO general circulation ocean model is extended to incorporate three physical
processes related to ocean surface waves, namely the surface stress (modified by growth …

Six recent Langmuir turbulence parameterization schemes and five traditional schemes are
implemented in a common single‐column modeling framework and consistently compared …

Large eddy simulations of the Craik‐Leibovich equations are used to assess the effect of
misaligned Stokes drift and wind direction on Langmuir cells in the ocean mixed layer …

The wave‐averaged, or Craik‐Leibovich, equations describe the dynamics of upper ocean
flow interacting with nonbreaking, not steep, surface gravity waves. This paper formulates …

The interactions between boundary layer turbulence, including Langmuir turbulence, and
submesoscale processes in the oceanic mixed layer are described using large-eddy …
