Response of the upper ocean to wind, wave and buoyancy forcing
At high winds, turbulence in the ocean surface mixed layer is dominated by organized coherent structures in the form of counterrotating helical vortices known as Langmuir cells. While the dynamics of the ocean surface layer has been studied rather extensively at lower wind speeds, the detailed ph...
