Spontaneous emission of internal waves by a radiative instability
Subhajit Kar, Roy Barkan, James C. McWilliams +1
The spontaneous emission of internal waves (IWs) from balanced mesoscale eddies has been previously proposed to provide a source of oceanic IW kinetic energy (KE). This study exami…
Near-inertial echoes of ageostrophic instability in submesoscale filaments
Erin Atkinson, James McWilliams, Nicolas Grisouard
Ocean submesoscales, flows with characteristic size around 10 m - 10 km, are transitional between the larger, rotationally-constrained mesoscale and three-dimensional turbulence. I…
Abyssal Slope Currents
Esther Capó, James C. McWilliams, Jonathan Gula +3
Realistic computational simulations in different oceanic basins reveal prevalent prograde mean flows (i.e. in the direction of topographic Rossby wave propagation along isobaths; a…
Submesoscale circulation in the Northern Gulf of Mexico: Deep phenomena and dispersion over the continental slope
Annalisa Bracco, Keshav Joshi, Hao Luo +1
This study examines the mesoscale and submesoscale circulations along the continental slope in the northern Gulf of Mexico at depths greater than 1000 m. The investigation is perfo…
