Scattering of swell by currents
Han Wang, Ana B. Villas Bôas, William R. Young +1
The refraction of surface gravity waves by currents leads to spatial modulations in the wave field and, in particular, in the significant wave height. We examine this phenomenon in…
Nusselt number scaling in horizontal convection
Navid C. Constantinou, Cesar B. Rocha, Stefan G. Llewellyn Smith +1
We report a numerical study of horizontal convection (HC) at Prandtl number , with both no-slip and free-slip boundary conditions. We obtain 2D and 3D solutions and determi…
Local intraspecific aggregation in phytoplankton model communities: spatial scales of occurrence and implications for coexistence
Coralie Picoche, William R. Young, Frédéric Barraquand
The coexistence of multiple phytoplankton species despite their reliance on similar resources is often explained with mean-field models assuming mixed populations. In reality, obse…
Stokes drift and its discontents
Jacques Vanneste, William R. Young
The Stokes velocity , defined approximately by Stokes (1847, Trans. Camb. Philos. Soc., 8, 441-455), and exactly via the Generalized Lagrangian Mean, is dive…
Interaction of near-inertial waves with an anticyclonic vortex
Hossein A. Kafiabad, Jacques Vanneste, William R. Young
Anticyclonic vortices focus and trap near-inertial waves so that near-inertial energy levels are elevated within the vortex core. Some aspects of this process, including the nonlin…
Refraction and straining of wind-generated near-inertial waves by barotropic eddies
Olivier Asselin, Leif N. Thomas, William R. Young +1
We analyze the distortion of wind-generated near-inertial waves by steady and unsteady barotropic quasi-geostrophic eddies, with a focus on the evolution of the horizontal wavevect…
