Near-inertial echoes of ageostrophic instability in submesoscale filaments
Erin Atkinson, James McWilliams, Nicolas Grisouard
Ocean submesoscales, flows with characteristic size around 10 m - 10 km, are transitional between the larger, rotationally-constrained mesoscale and three-dimensional turbulence. I…

Spontaneous emission of internal waves by a radiative instability
Subhajit Kar, Roy Barkan, James C. McWilliams +1
The spontaneous emission of internal waves (IWs) from balanced mesoscale eddies has been previously proposed to provide a source of oceanic IW kinetic energy (KE). This study exami…
