A Theory for Wind Work on Oceanic Mesoscales and Submesoscales
Shikhar Rai, J. Thomas Farrar, Hussein Aluie
Previous studies focused primarily on wind stress being proportional to wind velocity relative to the ocean velocity, which induces a curl in wind stress with polarity opposite to…

Effective Drift Velocity from Turbulent Transport by Vorticity
Hussein Aluie, Shikhar Rai, Hao Yin +5
We highlight the differing roles of vorticity and strain in the transport of coarse-grained scalars at length-scales larger than by smaller scale (subscale) turbulence. %sub…
