Journal ArticleDOI
Observations of turbulence in the ocean surface boundary layer : energetics and transport
TL;DR: In this article, a simple analytic model containing parameterizations of production, dissipation, and transport reproduces key features of the vertical profile of TKE, including enhancement near the surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurements of Momentum and Heat Transfer across the Air–Sea Interface
Gregory P. Gerbi,John H. Trowbridge,James B. Edson,Albert J. Plueddemann,Eugene A. Terray,Janet J. Fredericks +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make direct measurements of turbulent fluxes in the mixed layer in order to close heat and momentum budgets across the air-sea interface and assess the ability of rigid-boundary turbulence models to predict mean vertical gradients beneath the ocean's wavy surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catastrophic emplacement of the Heart Mountain block slide, Wyoming and Montana, USA
TL;DR: The mechanism that allowed many tens of km of movement of the enormous block slide floored by the rootless Heart Mountain detachment fault in NW Wyoming has long been a puzzle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seascape-level variation in turbulence- and wave-generated hydrodynamic signals experienced by plankton
Heidi L. Fuchs,Gregory P. Gerbi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify the hydrodynamic signals produced by turbulence and waves in four seascape types (surface zones, inlets and estuaries, the continental shelf, and the open ocean) using published dissipation rates, wind and wave data from buoys, and observations from two coastal sites in Massachusetts, USA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrodynamic sensing and behavior by oyster larvae in turbulence and waves
TL;DR: Turbence and waves induce oyster larvae to swim faster upward or to dive, which are energetically costly but could reduce predation mortality and enhance larval delivery to adult habitats.
