Global Cascade of Kinetic Energy in the Ocean and the Atmospheric Imprint
Benjamin A. Storer, Michele Buzzicotti, Hemant Khatri +2
We present the first estimate for the ocean's global scale-transfer of kinetic energy (KE), across scales from 10~km to 40000~km. We show the existence of oceanic KE transfer betwe…
Exploring the non-stationarity of coastal sea level probability distributions
Fabrizio Falasca, Andrew Brettin, Laure Zanna +3
Studies agree on a significant global mean sea level rise in the 20th century and its recent 21st century acceleration in the satellite record. At regional scale, the evolution of…
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…
Global Energy Spectrum of the General Oceanic Circulation
Benjamin A. Storer, Michele Buzzicotti, Hemant Khatri +2
Since the advent of satellite altimetry, our perception of the oceanic circulation has brought into focus the pervasiveness of mesoscale eddies that have typical scales of tens to…
Surface Quasigeostrophic Turbulence in Variable Stratification
Houssam Yassin, Stephen M. Griffies
Numerical and observational evidence indicates that, in regions where mixed-layer instability is active, the surface geostrophic velocity is largely induced by surface buoyancy ano…
Spatio-temporal coarse-graining decomposition of the global ocean geostrophic kinetic energy
Michele Buzzicotti, Benjamin A. Storer, Hemant Khatri +2
We expand on a recent determination of the first global energy spectrum of the ocean's surface geostrophic circulation (Storer et al., 2022) using a coarse-graining (CG) method. We…
On the Discrete Normal Modes of Quasigeostrophic Theory
Houssam Yassin, Stephen M. Griffies
The discrete baroclinic modes of quasigeostrophic theory are incomplete and the incompleteness manifests as a loss of information in the projection process. The incompleteness of t…
The KPP boundary layer scheme: revisiting its formulation and benchmarking one-dimensional ocean simulations relative to LES
Luke P Van Roekel, Alistair J. Adcroft, Gokhan Danabasoglu +7
We evaluate the Community ocean Vertical Mixing (CVMix) project version of the K-profile parameterization (KPP). For this purpose, one-dimensional KPP simulations are compared acro…
The catalytic role of beta effect in barotropization processes
Antoine Venaille, Geoffrey K. Vallis, S. M. Griffies
The vertical structure of freely evolving, continuously stratified, quasi-geostrophic flow is investigated. We predict the final state organization, and in particular its vertical…
North Atlantic thermohaline circulation predictability in a coupled ocean-atmosphere model
Stephen M. Griffies, Kirk Bryan
Predictability of the North Atlantic thermohaline circulation (THC) variability as simulated in the GFDL coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model is established for a set…
Domain Walls in Supergravity
Mirjam Cvetic, Stephen Griffies
We discuss a study of domain walls in supergravity. The walls saturate the Bogomol'nyi bound of wall energy per unit area thus proving stability of the classical solutio…
Nonperturbative Stability of Supergravity and Superstring Vacua
Mirjam Cvetic, Stephen Griffies, Soo-Jong Rey
We investigate the possibility of false vacuum decay in supergravity theories. By establishing a Bogomol'nyi bound for the energy density stored in the domain wall of the $O(…
Static Domain Walls in N=1 Supergravity
Mirjam Cvetic, Stephen Griffies, Soo-Jong Rey
We study supersymmetric domain walls in N=1 supergravity theories, including those with modular-invariant superpotentials arising in superstring compactifications. Such domain wall…
