In this article, the authors introduce linear internal waves and herar flows in a stratified fluid and double-diffusive convection in stably stratified fluids, and show that the shear flows can produce turbulence.Abstract:

Oceanic vertical mixing: A review and a model with a nonlocal boundary layer parameterization
TL;DR: In this article, a new parameterization of oceanic boundary layer mixing is developed to accommodate some of this physics, including a scheme for determining the boundary layer depth h, where the turbulent contribution to the vertical shear of a bulk Richardson number is parameterized.

An introduction to dynamic meteorology
TL;DR: The instructor's manual to a work which introduces the fundamental principles of meteorology, explaining storm dynamics and the dynamics of climate and its global implications is described in this paper, where the authors present a detailed discussion of the relationship between meteorology and climate.

Ground effects on pressure fluctuations in the atmospheric boundary layer
M. M. Gibson,Brian Launder +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple way to model the pressure-containing correlations which appear in the transport equations for Reynolds stress and heat flux was proposed, which accounts for gravitational effects and the modification of the fluctuating pressure field by the presence of a wall.

Vertical mixing, energy, and the general circulation of the oceans
Carl Wunsch,Raffaele Ferrari +1 more
TL;DR: In particular, small-scale mixing processes are necessary to resupply the potential energy removed in the interior by the overturning and eddy-generating process as discussed by the authors, and it is shown that over most of the ocean significant vertical mixing is confined to topographically complex boundary areas implies a potentially radically different interior circulation than is possible with uniform mixing.

Diurnal cycling: Observations and models of the upper ocean response to diurnal heating, cooling, and wind mixing
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed look at the diurnal cycle of the upper ocean upper ocean was provided using rapid profiling conductivity, temperature, and depth probes and vector-measuring current meters.
