Freshwater from rivers influences Indian summer monsoon rainfall and regional tropical cyclones by shallowing the upper layer and warming the subsurface ocean in the Bay of Bengal. Here, we use in situ and satellite data with reanalysis…
Mixing in the Bay of Bengal, driven by altimetry derived daily geostrophic surface currents, is studied on subseasonal timescales. Hovm{\"o}ller and wavenumber-frequency diagrams with power spectra confirm the multiscale nature of the flow.…
Systems comprising a turbulent channel flow overlaying a permeable bed can be found in a variety of industrial and natural applications (e.g. urban planning, fracking, submerged vegetation). One important realization of this system is at…
Understanding the statistics of ocean geostrophic turbulence is of utmost importance in understanding its interactions with the global ocean circulation and the climate system as a whole. Here, a study of eddy-mixing entropy in a…
It was discovered several decades ago that eddy covariance measurements systematically underestimate sensible and latent heat fluxes, creating an imbalance in the surface energy budget. Since then, many studies have addressed this problem…
"Eddy saturation" is the regime in which the total time-mean volume transport of an oceanic current is relatively insensitive to the wind stress forcing and is often invoked as a dynamical description of Southern Ocean circulation. We…
Eddy saturation describes the nonlinear mechanism in geophysical flows whereby, when average conditions are considered, direct forcing of the zonal flow increases the eddy kinetic energy, while the energy associated with the zonal flow does…
"Eddy saturation" refers to a regime in which the total volume transport of an oceanic current is insensitive to the wind stress strength. Baroclinicity is currently believed to be key to the development of an eddy-saturated state. In this…
We assess a prognostic formulation of triple coherence relating to energy exchange between mesoscale eddies and the internal wavefield and compare with observations from the Sargasso Sea. This effort involves updates to a theory articulated…
Mesoscale eddies remain poorly represented in most climate models, motivating the use of parameterizations to account for their dynamical effects on the coupled system. In this study, we implement a data-driven eddy parameterization based…
We present a prognostic, one-equation model for eddy-mean flow interactions to parameterize the divergence of the Eliassen-Palm flux tensor (EPFT) that arises from thickness-weighted averaging (TWA) the hydrostatic Boussinesq equations. The…
The large-scale features of the global ocean circulation and the sensitivity of these features with respect to forcing changes are critically dependent upon the influence of the mesoscale eddy field. One such feature, observed in numerical…
The transport of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) has been shown to increase with friction. Previous studies explained this counter-intuitive relationship called frictional control based on the eddy geometric parametrizations. They…
We propose a variational approach to identification of an optimal nonlinear eddy viscosity as a subscale turbulence representation for POD models. The ansatz for the eddy viscosity is given in terms of an arbitrary function of the resolved…
The mesoscale eddy field plays a key role in the mixing and transport of physical and biological properties and redistribute energy budgets in the ocean. Eddy kinetic energy is commonly defined as the kinetic energy of the time-varying…
Ocean mesoscale variability, a key component of the climate system, influences ocean circulation and heat, gas, carbon and nutrient distribution. Trends on Eddy Kinetic Energy (EKE), a metric measuring its intensity, are investigated using…
Explicit filtering in large eddy simulation (LES) of a turbulent barotropic flow on the sphere in spectral space is studied and compared to implicit filtering. Here, a smooth filter is applied to the nondivergent barotropic vorticity…
Based on an eddy-permitting ocean circulation model, the eddy kinetic energy (EKE) sources are studied in the Sea of Okhotsk. An analysis of the spatial distribution of the EKE showed that intense mesoscale variability occurs along the…
The global stratification and circulation of the ocean and their sensitivities to changes in forcing depend crucially on the representation of the mesoscale eddy field. Here, a geometrically informed and energetically constrained…
Electron hydrodynamics arises when momentum-relaxing scattering processes are slow compared to momentum-conserving ones. While the microscopic details necessary to satisfy this condition are material-specific, experimentally accessible…
