Marine plastic debris floating on the ocean surface is a major environmental problem.
However, its distribution in the ocean is poorly mapped, and most of the plastic waste …

Six recent Langmuir turbulence parameterization schemes and five traditional schemes are
implemented in a common single‐column modeling framework and consistently compared …

Symmetric instability (SI) extracts kinetic energy from fronts in the surface mixed layer (SML),
potentially affecting the SML structure and dynamics. Here, a global submesoscale …

We evaluate the Community ocean Vertical Mixing project version of the K‐profile
parameterization (KPP) for modeling upper ocean turbulent mixing. For this purpose, one …

Assessing the Effects of Langmuir Turbulence on the Entrainment Buoyancy Flux in the Ocean
Surface Boundary Layer in: Journal of Physical Oceanography Volume 47 Issue 12 (2017) …

We document the performance of a new earth system model developed at Korea Institute of
Ocean Science and Technology, called the KIOST-ESM, based on a low-resolution (~ 200 …

Clarifying contributions to the surface mixed layer (SML) dissipation from dynamic processes
including winds, waves, buoyancy forcing and submesoscales is of significance for …

We discuss oceanic drift as relevant to applications in operational oceanography using
examples from recent field experiments to highlight some of the challenges in modeling drift …

As one kind of submesoscale instability, symmetric instability (SI) of the ocean surface mixed
layer (SML) plays a significant role in modulating the SML energetics and material transport …

Submesoscale symmetric instability (SI) in the ocean surface mixed layer (SML) plays a
significant role in the forward energy cascade and vertical material transports. Due to its …
