Physical sources of high‐frequency seismic noise in the ocean are investigated using data
from the Cascadia Initiative (CI) ocean bottom seismometer (OBS) network, hindcasts of …

Numerical mixing, the spurious mixing primarily generated by the discretization of advection,
is often significant in estuarine and coastal models due to sharp, energetic fronts. We …

While lee-wave generation has been argued to be a major sink for the 1-TW wind work on
the ocean's circulation, microstructure measurements in the Antarctic Circumpolar Currents …

Wind-driven upwelling of cold, nutrient-rich water is a key feature near the eastern
boundaries of major ocean basins, with significant implications for the local physical …

A salinity variance framework is used to study mixing in the Salish Sea, a large fjordal
estuary. Output from a realistic numerical model is used to create salinity variance budgets …

Abstract Changes in the rate of ocean‐driven basal melting of Antarctica's ice shelves can
alter the rate at which the grounded ice sheet loses mass and contributes to sea level …

We extend the local theory of available potential energy (APE) to a general multicomponent
compressible stratified fluid, accounting for the effects of diabatic sinks and sources. As for …

The exchange between estuaries and the coastal ocean is a key dynamical driver impacting
nutrient and phytoplankton concentrations and regulating estuarine residence time, hypoxia …

Harvesting energy via tidal stream turbines is being increasingly considered as a renewable
energy resource in estuaries with strong tidal currents. It remains unclear how localized …
