The energy flux from the wind to inertial mixed layer motions is computed for all oceans from
50° S to 50° N for the years 1996–99. The wind stress, τ, is computed from 6-h, 2.5° …

Turbulence-enhanced mixing of upper ocean heat allows interaction between the tropical
atmosphere and cold water masses that impact climate at higher latitudes thereby regulating …

During favorable atmospheric conditions, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita deepened to category
5 over the Loop Current's (LC) bulge associated with an amplifying warm core eddy. Both …

The distribution of wind‐induced internal wave energy in the world's oceans is investigated
using a full three‐dimensional primitive equation model. Special attention is directed to the …

Tropical cyclones instigate an isolated blast of vigorous mixing in the upper tropical oceans,
stirring warm surface water with cooler water in the thermocline. Previous work suggests that …

Abstract Tropical cyclones (TCs) Katrina and Rita moved as major hurricanes over energetic
geostrophic ocean features in the Gulf of Mexico. Increased and reduced oceanic mixed …

In order to examine how the energy supplied by M2 internal tides cascades through the local
internal wave spectrum down to dissipation scales, two sets of numerical experiments are …

Heat and turbulent kinetic energy budgets of the ocean surface layer during the passage of
Hurricane Frances were examined using a three‐dimensional hydrodynamic model. In situ …

A one‐dimensional numerical ocean model of the southern Baltic Sea is used to investigate
suitable parameterizations of unresolved turbulence and compare with available …

Wind power input to oceanic near‐inertial oscillations (NIOs) plays a crucial role in
sustaining the global ocean conveyor belt. However, the impact of tropical cyclones (TCs) on …
