The subject of ocean turbulence is in a state of discovery and development with many
intellectual challenges. This book describes the principal dynamic processes that control the …

Using average sections along the Bosphorus taken in September 1994 with a loosely
tethered profiler and an acoustic Doppler current profiler, Gregg et al.[1999] found the …

During the last 10 years there have been a number of important developments in the
understanding of the exchange flow in the Bab el Mandab. New and improved estimates of …

Layout of data in slab orientation.(a) Physical space representation of each three-
dimensional flow variable is distributed across np processors in slabs.(b) Each interior …

A laboratory investigation of exchange flows near the two-layer hydraulic limit is used to
examine the generation of shear instability at the interface dividing the two layers. The …

The sloping boundaries of stratified aquatic systems, such as lakes, are crucial
environmental dynamic zones. While the role of sloping boundaries as energy dissipation …

A chain of simple linked models is used to simulate the seasonal and interannual variability
of the Turkish Straits System. This chain includes two-layer hydraulic models of the …

Inter-basin water exchanges can be quite important in climatic-scale numerical studies
simulating the circulation and hydrographic characteristics of neighboring oceanic basins …

The Dardanelles Strait is a remarkable example of a long, narrow, shallow, and strongly
stratified strait with bidirectional exchange that is governed by both baroclinic and barotropic …

Buoyancy-driven exchange flows arise in the natural and built environment wherever bodies
of fluids at different densities are connected by a narrow constriction. In this paper we study …
