During its periodic motion, a particle floating at the free surface of a water wave experiences
a net drift velocity in the direction of wave propagation, known as the Stokes drift (Stokes …

Ocean surface winds, currents, and waves play a crucial role in exchanges of momentum,
energy, heat, freshwater, gases, and other tracers between the ocean, atmosphere, and ice …

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are prolonged extreme warm water events in the ocean, exerting
devastating impacts on marine ecosystems. A comprehensive knowledge of physical …

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

Abstract Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) have shown the effects of ocean surface gravity
