Distribution and Transport of Fragmenting Microplastics in a 3D Global Eulerian Model
Zih-En Tseng, Yue Wu, Chris Ruf +2
Fragmentation, the breakage of matter into smaller pieces, is an important mechanism responsible for generating microplastics (MPs). We present the first global three-dimensional E…
Impact of Wave Interference on the Consistency Relations of Internal Gravity Waves near the Ocean Bottom
Guangyao Wang, Yue Wu, Yulin Pan +5
Consistency relations of internal gravity waves (IGWs) describe ratios of cross-spectral quantities as functions of frequency. It has been a common practice to evaluate the measure…
Induced Diffusion of Internal Gravity Waves: Directionality and Role in Ocean Mixing
Yue Wu, Yulin Pan
Induced diffusion (ID), an important mechanism of spectral energy transfer in the internal gravity wave (IGW) field, plays a significant role in driving turbulent dissipation in th…
Data Assimilation-based Simultaneous Phase-Resolved Ocean Wave and Ship Motion Forecast
Guangyao Wang, Yulin Pan
This paper presents a data-assimilation (DA)-based approach to forecast the phase-resolved wave evolution process and ship motion, which is developed by coupling the high-order spe…
Distribution of plastics of various sizes and densities in the global ocean from a 3D Eulerian model
Zih-En Tseng, Yue Wu, Dimitris Menemenlis +3
We develop a 3D Eulerian model to study the transport and distribution of microplastics in the global ocean. Among other benefits that will be discussed in the paper, one unique fe…
