Remote internal wave forcing of regional ocean simulations near the US West Coast
Low mode internal waves are able to propagate across ocean basins and modulate ocean
dynamics thousands of kilometers away from their generation sites. In this study, the impact …

Submesoscale current effects on surface waves
L Romero, D Hypolite, JC McWilliams - Ocean Modelling, 2020 - Elsevier
We present a numerical study of current effects on waves (CEW) at submesoscales (100's of
m–10's of km) with a realistic model configuration in Southern California. CEW is analyzed …

Turbulence asymmetries in bottom boundary layer velocity pulses associated with onshore-propagating nonlinear internal waves
The inner shelf is a region inshore of that part of the shelf that roughly obeys Ekman
dynamics and offshore of the surf zone. Importantly, this is where surface and bottom …
