This article is a perspective on the recently discovered realm of submesoscale currents in
the ocean. They are intermediate-scale flow structures in the form of density fronts and …

Turbulent mixing from breaking oceanic internal waves drives a vertical transport of water,
heat and other climatically important tracers in the ocean, thereby playing an important role …

For several decades, jets and fronts have been known from observations to be significant
sources of internal gravity waves in the atmosphere. Motivations to investigate these waves …

We review the physics of near-inertial waves (NIWs) in the ocean and the observations,
theory, and models that have provided our present knowledge. NIWs appear nearly …

The ocean's turbulent energy cycle has a paradox; large-scale eddies under the control of
Earth's rotation transfer kinetic energy (KE) to larger scales via an inverse cascade, while a …

A holistic review is given of the Southern Ocean dynamic system, in the context of the crucial
role it plays in the global climate and the profound changes it is experiencing. The review …

Flow in a stably stratified environment is characterized by anisotropic and intermittent
turbulence and wavelike motions of varying amplitudes and periods. Understanding …

Oceanic mesoscale structures such as eddies and fronts can alter the propagation, breaking
and subsequent turbulent mixing of wind-generated internal waves. However, it has been …

Klaus Hasselmann's revolutionary intuition in climate science was to use the stochasticity
associated with fast weather processes to probe the slow dynamics of the climate system …
