  • The effect of river discharge and wind forcing on the Oregon coastal ocean during fall and winter

    Creator:
    Mazzini, Piero Luigi Fernandes
    Abstract:
    Freshwater provided from river discharge influences the dynamics and circulation of most continental shelves around the world. It has profound effects on the transport and fate of materials and substances originated from rivers and estuaries, as well as on the ocean biogeochemistry and marine ecosystems. The effect of buoyancy forcing...

  • Turbulence in sheared, salt-fingering favorable environment

    Creator:
    Kimura, Satoshi
    Abstract:
    Instability and turbulence in sheared, salt-fingering favorable stratification are studied using three-dimensional direct numerical simulations (DNS). Salt-fingering favorable stratification is gravitationally stable, because the unstable vertical gradient of salinity is stabilized by temperature (warm, salty over cool, fresh water-masses). Salt-fingering instability can occur at the interface of these different water-masses....
