Several simple mathematical models for the turbulent diffusion of a passive scalar field are
developed here with an emphasis on the symbiotic interaction between rigorous …

This paper reviews the nonlinear interaction calculations for the internal gravity wave field in
the deep ocean. The nonlinear interactions are a principal part of the dynamics of internal …

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 …

THE distributions of heat, salt and trace substances in the ocean thermocline depend on
mixing along and across surfaces of equal density (isopycnal and diapycnal mixing …

Abstract The subpolar Southern Ocean is a critical region where CO2 outgassing influences
the global mean air-sea CO2 flux (FCO2). However, the processes controlling the …

A patch of sulfur hexafluoride was released in May 1992 in the eastern North Atlantic on an
isopycnal surface near 300 m depth and was surveyed over a period of 30 months as it …

Transport phenomena are among the most important processes in natural systems.
Chemical compounds, the constituents of biogeochemical systems, are in continual motion …

The homogenization of a passive 'tracer'in a flow with closed mean streamlines occurs in
two stages: first, a rapid phase dominated by shear-augmented diffusion over a time≈ P1/3 …

The prospect for describing advection and eddy transport of tracers in the general circulation
using floats is examined. This is done within the context of a recently proposed …

Starting from the foundations of elementary kinematics and assuming some familiarity of
Eularian fluid dynamics, this book reviews the classical and new exact solutions of the …
