Wave-Current Interaction in an Oceanic Circulation Model with a Vortex-Force Formalism: Application to the Surf Zone
TLDR
In this article, a vortex-force formalism for the interaction of surface gravity waves and currents is implemented in a three-dimensional (3D), terrain-following, hydrostatic, oceanic circulation model (Regional Oceanic Modeling System: ROMS; Shchepetkin and McWilliams, 2005 ).About:

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.
Wave Heights and Set-up in a Surf Zone
TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical model for wave heights and set-up in a surf zone is developed for wave flux, radiation stress, and energy dissipation, and the transitions immediately after breaking are analyzed and shown to be in accordance with the above mentioned ideas.

Implementation of the vortex force formalism in the coupled ocean-atmosphere-wave-sediment transport (COAWST) modeling system for inner shelf and surf zone applications
TL;DR: In this article, a new wave-current coupling component utilizes a depth dependent radiation stress approach and uses the vortex force formalism to simulate the effect of waves on circulation and vice versa.

The Wind- and Wave-Driven Inner-Shelf Circulation
TL;DR: This review of circulation and momentum balances over the inner continental shelf contrasts prior studies, which focused mainly on the roles of along-shelfwind and pressure gradients, with recent understanding of the dominant roles of cross- shelf wind and surface gravity waves.

Development of a turbulence closure model for geophysical fluid problems
George L. Mellor,Tetsuji Yamada +1 more
TL;DR: The second-moment turbulent closure hypothesis has been applied to geophysical fluid problems since 1973, when genuine predictive skill in coping with the effects of stratification was demonstrated as discussed by the authors.

The regional oceanic modeling system (ROMS): a split-explicit, free-surface, topography-following-coordinate oceanic model
TL;DR: In this paper, a split-explicit hydrodynamic kernel for a realistic oceanic model is proposed, which addresses multiple numerical issues associated with mode splitting, and is compatible with a variety of centered and upstream-biased high-order advection algorithms, and helps to mitigate computational cost of expensive physical parameterization of mixing processes and submodels.
