    Abstract
    Our thanks go to Martin Landahl for his stimulating expository lectures on recent development in "lab scale" turbulent flow. This subject was covered by him and other staff members from the experimental, analytic, and numerical point of view. The seminars on two-dimensional coherent structures provided a nice connecting link for subsequent lectures on large scale ocean eddy dynamics (e.g. warm core rings detaching from the Gulf Stream).

      Rapid mixed layer depening by the combination of Langmuir and shear instabilities : a case study 

      Kukulka, Tobias; Plueddemann, Albert J.; Trowbridge, John H.; Sullivan, Peter P. (American Meteorological Society, 2010-11)
      Langmuir circulation (LC) is a turbulent upper-ocean process driven by wind and surface waves that contributes significantly to the transport of momentum, heat, and mass in the oceanic surface layer. The authors have ...
