Submesoscale currents (SMCs), in the forms of fronts, filaments, and vortices, are studied
using a high-resolution (~ 150 m) Regional Oceanic Modeling System (ROMS) simulation in …

The ocean is home to many different submesoscale phenomena, including internal waves,
fronts, and gravity currents. Each of these processes entails complex nonlinear dynamics …

Remotely sensed images document the occurrence of multiple packets of internal solitary
waves (ISWs) in the Rhine River plume at the same time. We use a combination of field …

River plumes transport fresh water into the ocean, and exhibit intense convergent and
turbulent processes in the frontal regions, ultimately influencing coastal ecosystems …

This paper presents the first comprehensive comparison of several different dynamical-
systems-based measures of stirring and Lagrangian coherence, computed from real ocean …

Idealized simulations of a shoaling internal tide on a gently sloping, linear shelf provide a
tool to investigate systematically the effects of stratification strength, vertical structure, and …

The atmosphere and the ocean are the two most fundamental fluids on the earth. As the
oceans occupy approximately 71 percent of the earth surface, the interactions between the …
