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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uncovering the Lagrangian skeleton of turbulence.
TL;DR: A technique is presented that uncovers the Lagrangian building blocks of turbulence, and is applied to a quasi-two-dimensional turbulent flow experiment, which identifies an intricate network of attracting and repelling material lines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Properties of the Water Column and Bottom Derived from Airborne Visible Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) Data
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a model-driven optimization technique to estimate the bottom depth, bottom albedo, and water absorption and backscattering coefficients, which can be used to derive concentrations of chlorophyll, dissolved organic matter and suspended sediments in the water column.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lagrangian coherent structures: The hidden skeleton of fluid flows
Thomas Peacock,George Haller +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, new techniques promise better forecasting of where damaging contaminants in the ocean or atmosphere will end up in the future, by predicting where they will be released into the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Introduction to Focus Issue: Lagrangian Coherent Structures
Thomas Peacock,John O. Dabiri +1 more
TL;DR: A short introduction to the topic of LCS is given and the new work presented in this Focus Issue is reviewed.
