Enhanced Turbulence and Energy Dissipation at Ocean Fronts
TL;DR: Observations at a 1-kilometer-wide front within the Kuroshio Current indicate that the rate of energy dissipation within the boundary layer is enhanced by one to two orders of magnitude, suggesting that the front, rather than the atmospheric forcing, supplied the energy for the turbulence.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In the field component of an experiment designed to observe water mass transformation began in the Labrador Sea in the autumn of 1996 and continued for the following two winters as mentioned in this paper, with the purpose of the experiment being to improve understanding of the convective process in the ocean and its representation in models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-Eddy Simulation of Langmuir Turbulence in Pure Wind Seas
TL;DR: In this article, the scaling of turbulent kinetic energy and its vertical component in the upper ocean boundary layer, forced by realistic wind stress and surface waves including the effects of Langmuir circulations, is investigated using large-eddy simulations (LESs).
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying upper ocean turbulence driven by surface waves

TL;DR: In this article, the mixed layer average turbulent vertical kinetic energy in the open ocean was found to be typically twice that in the lake and the increase is consistent with models of Langmuir turbulence, in which the wave Stokes drift, and not wave breaking, is the dominant mechanism by which waves energize turbulence in the mixed layers.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a major oceanographic field experiment aimed at observing and understanding the processes responsible for stirring at scales of 0.1-10 km was conducted in the Sargasso Sea eddy field approximately 250 km southeast of Cape Hatteras.
