circulation and the uptake and redistribution of heat, carbon, nutrients, oxygen and other …

Decadal observations of internal wave energy, shear, and mixing in the western Arctic Ocean

EC Fine, ST Cole - Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
As Arctic sea ice declines, wind energy has increasing access to the upper ocean, with
potential consequences for ocean mixing, stratification, and turbulent heat fluxes. Here, we …

A 1500-year multiproxy record of coastal hypoxia from the northern Baltic Sea indicates unprecedented deoxygenation over the 20th century

The anthropogenically forced expansion of coastal hypoxia is a major environmental
problem affecting coastal ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles throughout the world. The …

Turbulent mixing in a changing Arctic Ocean

TP Rippeth, EC Fine - Oceanography, 2022 - JSTOR
Historically, the Arctic Ocean has been considered an ocean of low variability and weak
turbulent mixing. However, the decline in seasonal sea ice cover over the past couple of …

Tidal conversion and mixing poleward of the critical latitude (an Arctic case study)

TP Rippeth, V Vlasenko, N Stashchuk… - Geophysical …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
The tides are a major source of the kinetic energy supporting turbulent mixing in the global
oceans. The prime mechanism for the transfer of tidal energy to turbulent mixing results from …
