Energetics of frontogenesis in simple balanced models
Yue Bai, Jörn Callies
Submesoscale fronts have been proposed to act as conduits funneling kinetic energy from geostrophically constrained mesoscale eddies down to small scales, where the energy can be d…
Orthogonality of coastal trapped waves
Jörn Callies
Coastal trapped wave modes are shown to be orthogonal in the sense that they make independent contributions to the energy of the wave field. The hydrostatic Boussinesq dynamics on…
Assessing submesoscale sea surface height signals from the SWOT mission
Xihan Zhang, Jörn Callies
The sea surface height (SSH) field measured by Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission's wide-swath altimeter is analyzed with a focus on submesoscale features. Along-tra…
Vertical-slice ocean tomography with seismic waves
Jörn Callies, Wenbo Wu, Shirui Peng +1
Seismically generated sound waves that propagate through the ocean are used to infer temperature anomalies and their vertical structure in the deep East Indian Ocean. These T waves…
Rapid Spin Up and Spin Down of Flow Along Slopes
Henry G. Peterson, Jörn Callies
The near-bottom mixing that allows abyssal waters to upwell tilts isopycnals and spins up flow over the flanks of mid-ocean ridges. Meso- and large-scale currents along sloping top…
Coupling Between Abyssal Boundary Layers and the Interior Ocean in the Absence of Along-Slope Variations
Henry G. Peterson, Jörn Callies
To close the overturning circulation, dense bottom water must upwell via turbulent mixing. Recent studies have identified thin bottom boundary layers (BLs) as locations of intense…
Floquet stability of oscillating boundary layers on adiabatic slopes
Bryan Kaiser, Lawrence Pratt
The presence of a no-slip, impermeable, adiabatic, sloped boundary in an otherwise quiescent, stably stratified, Boussinesq flow generates baroclinic vorticity within a diffusive b…
Direct numerical simulation of low Reynolds number oscillating boundary layers on adiabatic slopes
Bryan Kaiser, Lawrence Pratt, Jörn Callies
We investigate the instabilities and transition mechanisms of Boussinesq stratified boundary layers on sloping boundaries when subjected to oscillatory body forcing parallel to the…
