In this review paper, state-of-the-art observational and numerical modeling methods for
small scale turbulence and mixing with applications to coastal oceans are presented in one …

The subject of ocean turbulence is in a state of discovery and development with many
intellectual challenges. This book describes the principal dynamic processes that control the …

Field Measurements of Surface and Near-Surface Turbulence in the Presence of Breaking
Waves in: Journal of Physical Oceanography Volume 45 Issue 4 (2015) Jump to Content …

Observations with a three-axis pulse-to-pulse coherent acoustic Doppler profiler and
acoustic resonators reveal the turbulence and bubble field beneath breaking waves in the …

This paper considers an experimental attempt to estimate the spectral distribution of the
dissipation due to breaking of dominant waves. A field wave record with an approximately …

Ocean surface mixing and drift are influenced by the mixed layer depth, buoyancy fluxes and
currents below the mixed layer. Drift and mixing are also functions of the surface Stokes drift …

Observations of Turbulence in the Ocean Surface Boundary Layer: Energetics and
Transport in: Journal of Physical Oceanography Volume 39 Issue 5 (2009) Jump to Content …

In the ocean, interaction among the mean current, the surface waves, and turbulence is a
major mechanism for energy transfer from surface waves to the turbulence field. This …
