Turbulent mixing from breaking oceanic internal waves drives a vertical transport of water,
heat and other climatically important tracers in the ocean, thereby playing an important role …

We revisit the challenges and prospects for ocean circulation models following Griffies et al..
Over the past decade, ocean circulation models evolved through improved understanding …

Diapycnal mixing plays a primary role in the thermodynamic balance of the ocean and,
consequently, in oceanic heat and carbon uptake and storage. Though observed mixing …

Turbulent mixing in the ocean is key to regulate the transport of heat, freshwater and
biogeochemical tracers, with strong implications for Earth's climate. In the deep ocean, tides …

Vertical mixing is often regarded as the Achilles' heel of ocean models. In particular, few
models include a comprehensive and energy‐constrained parameterization of mixing by …

Internal tide generation, propagation, and dissipation are investigated in Luzon Strait, a
system of two quasi-parallel ridges situated between Taiwan and the Philippines. Two …

The ocean interior stratification and meridional overturning circulation are largely sustained
by diapycnal mixing. The breaking of internal tides is a major source of diapycnal mixing …

A global estimate of the water‐mass transformation by internal wave‐driven mixing in the
deep ocean is presented. The estimate is based on the energy conversion from tidal and …

The abyssal ocean is primarily filled by cold, dense waters formed around Antarctica and
collectively referred to as Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW). At steady state, AABW must be …

A holistic review is given of the Southern Ocean dynamic system, in the context of the crucial
role it plays in the global climate and the profound changes it is experiencing. The review …
