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 …

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 …

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 …

Across the stable density stratification of the abyssal ocean, deep dense water is slowly
propelled upward by sustained, though irregular, turbulent mixing. The resulting mean …

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 …

The lower limb of the global overturning circulation represents the transformation of waters
previously made dense by cryogenic processes around Antarctica that have found their way …

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 …

Near-inertial waves (NIWs) trapped in a propagating anticyclonic eddy (AE) are investigated
along the eddy path at three areas spanning 660 km by using two mooring arrays and a …

While lee-wave generation has been argued to be a major sink for the 1-TW wind work on
the ocean's circulation, microstructure measurements in the Antarctic Circumpolar Currents …

Recent observations and numerical simulations have demonstrated the potential for
significant interactions between mesoscale eddies and smaller-scale tidally generated …
