TL;DR: This work shows that the waves begin as sinusoidal disturbances rather than arising from sharp hydraulic phenomena, and reveals the existence of >200-metre-high breaking internal waves in the region of generation that give rise to turbulence levels >10,000 times that in the open ocean.

TL;DR: Turbulent Boussinesq convection under the influence of rapid rotation was studied in this paper, where the transition to turbulence proceeds through a relatively simple bifurcation sequence, starting with unstable convection rolls at moderate Rayleigh (Ra) and Taylor numbers (Ta), and culminating in a state dominated by coherent plume structures at high Ra and Ta.

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.

TL;DR: Recent progress in developing, implementing and testing dynamics-based parameterizations for internal-wave driven turbulent mixing in global ocean models are reviewed, the tools developed are described, and future directions are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the Carbon Mitigation Initiative (CMI) project at Princeton University - BP and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce.
