Understanding how turbulence leads to the enhanced irreversible transport of heat and
other scalars such as salt and pollutants in density-stratified fluids is a fundamental and …

When discussing research in physics and in science more generally, it is common to ascribe
equal importance to the three components of the scientific trinity: theoretical, experimental …

The mixing efficiency of stratified turbulence in geophysical fluids has been the subject of
considerable controversy. A simple parameterization, devised decades ago when empirical …

Over the past several decades, there has developed a community-wide appreciation for the
importance of mixing at the smallest scales to geophysical fluid dynamics on all scales. This …

In a stably stratified shear layer, multiple competing instabilities produce sensitivity to small
changes in initial conditions, popularly called the butterfly effect (as a flap** wing may …

This study investigates the dynamics and diurnal variations of submesoscale motions
around an anticyclonic eddy with a cold core using observations and simulations. Glider …

Studies of Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) instability have typically modelled the initial flow as an
isolated shear layer. In geophysical cases, however, the instability often occurs near …

The linear stability of plane Couette–Poiseuille flow (CPF) is studied with the physical effects
of stratification, rotation and viscosity all included for the first time together. With no …

Coherent large‐scale vortices in the open ocean can retain their structure and properties for
periods as long as several years. However, the patterns of potential vorticity in such vortices …

In low winds (≲ 2 ms− 1), diurnal warm layers form, but shear in the near-surface jet is too
weak to generate shear instability and mixing. In high winds (≳ 8 ms− 1), surface heat is …
