Geometric and kinematic indicators of breaking inception in surface gravity waves

Daniel G. Boettger, Shane R. Keating, Michael L. Banner +1

The process of breaking in surface gravity waves can be characterized by two distinct stages. Breaking onset, defined as the first visible surface manifestation of breaking, is pre…

The energetic inception of breaking in surface gravity waves under wind forcing

Daniel G. Boettger, Shane R. Keating, Michael L. Banner +2

The breaking of surface gravity waves is a key process contributing to air-sea fluxes and turbulent ocean mixing. The highly nonlinear nature of wave breaking, combined with the ch…

Bathymetry imposes a global pattern of cross-front transport in the Southern Ocean

Michael C Denes, Shane R Keating, Gary Froyland

The Southern Ocean plays an integral role in the global climate system, exchanging heat, salt, and carbon throughout the major ocean basins via the deep, fast-flowing Antarctic Cir…

An energetic signature for breaking inception in surface gravity waves

Daniel G. Boettger, Shane R. Keating, Michael L. Banner +2

A dynamical understanding of the physical process of surface gravity wave breaking remains an unresolved problem in fluid dynamics. Conceptually, breaking can be described by incep…

Persistence and material coherence of a mesoscale ocean eddy

Michael C. Denes, Gary Froyland, Shane R. Keating

Ocean eddies play an important role in the transport and mixing processes of the ocean due to their ability to transport material, heat, salt, and other tracers across large distan…

On the energetics of breaking inception and onset in surface gravity waves

Daniel G. Boettger, Michael L. Banner, Xavier Barthélémy +2

Accurate prediction of the onset and strength of breaking surface gravity waves is a long-standing problem of significant theoretical and applied interest. Recently, Barthélémy et…

The effect of surface buoyancy gradients on oceanic Rossby wave propagation

Xiao Xiao, K. Shafer Smith, Shane R. Keating

Motivated by the discrepancy between satellite observations of coherent westward propagating surface features and Rossby wave theory, this paper revisits the planetary wave propaga…
