The deployment and recovery of autonomous or remotely piloted platforms from research
vessels have become a way of significantly extending the capabilities and reach of the …

A new theory of shear instability in a turbulent environment is applied to eight days of
velocity and density profiles from the upper-equatorial Pacific. This period featured a regular …

Most idealized studies of stratified shear instabilities assume that the shear interface and the
buoyancy interface are coincident. We discuss the role of asymmetry on the evolution of …

The seasonal cycles of the various oceanic and atmospheric factors influencing the deep
cycle of turbulence in the eastern Pacific cold tongue are explored. Moored observations at …

Dynamical processes leading to deep-cycle turbulence in the Equatorial Undercurrent
(EUC) are investigated using a high-resolution large-eddy simulation (LES) model …

Deep cycle turbulence (DCT) is a diurnally oscillating turbulence that penetrates into a
stratified shear layer below the surface mixed layer, which is often observed in the eastern …

Abstract The westward South Equatorial Current (SEC) and eastward Equatorial
Undercurrent (EUC) is a marginally stable current system due to the strong vertical shear …

Large eddy simulations are used to examine the evolution of a shear layer in a thermocline
with non-uniform density stratification. Unlike previous studies, the density in the present …

ABSTRACT A high-resolution LES model with dynamic procedure is used to investigate the
role of shear instabilities on near-N isopycnal oscillations and deep-cycle turbulence, the …
