Mixing by mesoscale eddies in the ocean plays a major role in setting the distribution of oceanic tracers, with important implications for physical and biochemical systems at local to global scales. Roach et al. (2016; https://doi.org/10...
Violent typhoons continue to have catastrophic impacts on economies and welfare, but how they are responding to global warming has yet to be fully understood. Here, an empirical framework is used to explain physically why observations...
The Southern Ocean is central to the global climate and the global carbon cycle, and to the climate's response to increasing levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases, as it ventilates a large fraction of the global ocean volume. Global...
The equations governing the mean fluid motions within a turbulent boundary layer adjoining a stationary plane beneath an axisymmetric circumferential flow, where is cylindrical radius, are solved by assuming the eddy diffusivity is...
The problem formulated in Part 1 (Loper, J. Fluid Mech., vol. 892, 2020, A16) for flow in the turbulent boundary layer beneath a vortex is solved for a power-law swirl:, where is cylindrical radius and is a constant parameter, with...
The long-standing paradigm for the large-scale time-averaged ocean circulation in the world oceans includes intensified currents at the western boundary, and a much slower interior flow elsewhere. However, poleward deep boundary currents...
We provide the first observational estimate of the circumpolar distribution of cross-stream eddy diffusivity at 1000 m in the Southern Ocean using Argo float trajectories. We show that Argo float trajectories, from the float surfacing...
