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…
