▪ Abstract Recent small-scale turbulence observations allow the mixing regimes in lakes,
reservoirs, and other enclosed basins to be categorized into the turbulent surface and …

▪ Abstract Since Leibovich's comprehensive review of Langmuir circulation in 1983 there
have been substantial advances in modeling (notably the construction of Large Eddy …

We apply a one-dimensional mixed layer model, based on second moment closure of
turbulence, to study the effects of surface gravity waves on mixing in the oceanic mixed …

The Office of Naval Research's Coupled Boundary Layers and Air–Sea Transfer (CBLAST)
program is being conducted to investigate the processes that couple the marine boundary …

Wind and surface wave frequently induce Langmuir circulations (LC) in the upper ocean,
and the LC contribute to mixing materials down from the surface. In this paper we analyze …

This review focuses on clarifying the energy transfer mechanisms operating in a stratified
lake. The energy imparted by the wind to the lake leads to basin scale waves which may be …

Nearly all operational ocean models use air‐sea fluxes and the ocean shear and
stratification to estimate upper ocean boundary layer mixing rates. This approach implicitly …

Large eddy simulation (LES) of the ocean mixed layer was performed in which both wave
breaking and Langmuir circulation are realized. Wave breaking was represented by random …
