  • Evolution of Turbulence, Heat Content, and Freshwater Lenses in the Diurnal Warm Layer

    Creator:
    Moulin, Aurélie J.
    Abstract:
    Thorough understanding of the mechanisms controlling the temperature structure in the surface mixed layer of the ocean and, in particular, accurate values of sea surface temperature are critical for properly parameterizing air-sea heat exchange and quantifying the amount of heat redistributed below the surface. It is however difficult to obtain...

  • 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....
