TLDR
In this article, a simple model of forcing by a wind stress was used to estimate the phase, amplitude and intermittency of bursts of inertial oscillations in the mixed layer.About:

Ocean Circulation Kinetic Energy: Reservoirs, Sources, and Sinks
Raffaele Ferrari,Carl Wunsch +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the physically different kinetic energy (KE) reservoirs of the circulation and their maintenance, dissipation, and possible influence on the very small scales representing irreversible molecular mixing.

A simple eddy kinetic energy model for simulations of the oceanic vertical mixing: Tests at Station Papa and long-term upper ocean study site
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple eddy kinetic energy parameterization of the oceanic vertical mixing is presented, which is designed to simulate vertical mixing at all depths, from the upper boundary layer down to the abyss.
Journal ArticleDOI
The deepening of the wind-Mixed layer
TL;DR: In this article, a simple model is given that describes the response of the upper ocean to an imposed wind stress, which is taken to mix thoroughly a layer of depth h, and to erode the stably stratified fluid below.

The science of hypoxia in the Northern Gulf of Mexico: a review.
Thomas S. Bianchi,Steven F. DiMarco,Jr H. Cowan,Robert D. Hetland,Piers Chapman,John W. Day,Mead A. Allison +6 more
TL;DR: Why hypoxia in this dynamic river-dominated margin (RiOMar) is not comparable to many of the other traditional estuarine systems is explored, and it is postulate that a better management plan for this region can be reached through a more comprehensive understanding of this RiOMar system.

Near-Inertial Internal Gravity Waves in the Ocean
TL;DR: NIWs are generated by a variety of mechanisms, including the wind, nonlinear interactions with waves of other frequencies, lee waves over bottom topography, and geostrophic adjustment; the partition among these is not known, although the wind is likely the most important.

Observations of Inertial-Period Motions in the Deep Sea
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the inertial motions are coherent horizontally over much greater scales than they are coherent vertically, and the picture that emerges is one of transient phenomena, of thin vertical extent, and of apparent possible occurrence anywhere in the oceans.

Current measurements from moored buoys
TL;DR: A recording current mater for use in the deep ocean and a moored buoy station on which it may be located are described in this paper, where the station may be left unattended for extended periods of time.

Inertial oscillations in the Mediterranean
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors made measurements of ocean currents in the Western Mediterranean Sea at five depths for two months during early 1969 and found a dominant and persistent presence of inertial oscillations, that is, of circularly polarized currents having periods of a half pendulum day.
