Ocean circulationAbstract
The success of this summer's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Program owes much to
Myrl Hendershott's excellent and engaging survey of the Oceans General Circulation,
including recent developments In the Theory of Recirculation Gyres and Thermocline
Ventilation.

Mixing variability in the Southern Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 2015-04)A key remaining challenge in oceanography is the understanding and parameterization of small-scale mixing. Evidence suggests that topographic features play a significant role in enhancing mixing in the Southern Ocean. This ... -
Investigating the eddy diffusivity concept in the coastal ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 2016-06-29)This paper aims to test the validity, utility, and limitations of the lateral eddy diffusivity concept in a coastal environment through analyzing data from coupled drifter and dye releases within the footprint of a ... -
Near-surface transport pathways in the north Atlantic Ocean : looking for throughput from the subtropical to the subpolar gyre
(American Meteorological Society, 2011-05)Motivated by discrepancies between Eulerian transport estimates and the behavior of Lagrangian surface drifters, near-surface transport pathways and processes in the North Atlantic are studied using a combination of data, ...
