Internal hydraulic jumps with upstream shear 

Ogden, Kelly Anne (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
Internal hydraulic jumps in flows with upstream shear are investigated numerically and theoretically. The role of upstream shear has not previously been thoroughly investigated, although it is important in many oceanographic ...

The southern ocean meridional overturning circulation as diagnosed from an eddy permitting state estimate 

Mazloff, Matthew R (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
A modern general circulation model of the Southern Ocean with one-sixth of a degree resolution is optimized to the observed ocean in a weighted least squares sense. Convergence to the state estimate solution is carried out ...

Physical controls on copepod aggregations in the Gulf of Maine 

Woods, Nicholas W (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
This thesis explores the role that the circulation in the Gulf of Maine (GOM) plays in determining the distribution of dense aggregations of copepods. These aggregations are an important part of the marine ecosystem, ...

Instabilities of an eastern boundary current with and without Large-scale Flow Influence 

Wang, Jinbo, Ph. D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
Eastern oceanic boundary currents are subject to hydrodynamic instability, generate small scale features that are visible in satellite images and may radiate westward into the interior, where they can be modified by the ...

Stability of large-scale oceanic flows and the importance of non-local effects 

Hristova, Hristina G (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
My thesis covers two general circulation problems that involve the stability of largescale oceanic flows and the importance of non-local effects. The first problem examines the stability of meridional boundary currents, ...

Slope/shelf circulation and cross-slope/shelf transport out of a bay driven by eddies from the open ocean 

Zhang, Yu (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Interaction between the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and the continental slope/shelf in the Marguerite Bay and west Antarctic Peninsula is examined as interaction between a wind-driven channel flow and a zonally uniform ...

Physics of diurnal warm layers : turbulence, internal waves, and lateral mixing 

Bogdanoff, Alec Setnor (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
The daily heating of the ocean by the sun can create a stably stratified near-surface layer when the winds are slight and solar insolation is strong. This type of shallow stable layer is called a Diurnal Warm Layer (DWL). ...

Influences on the oceanic biogeochemical cycling of the hybrid-type metals, cobalt, iron, and manganese 

Noble, Abigail Emery (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
Trace metal cycling is one of many processes that influence ocean ecosystem dynamics. Cobalt, iron, and manganese are redox active trace metal micro-nutrients with oceanic distributions that are influenced by both biological ...

Zinc and cadmium in benthic foraminifera as tracers of ocean paleochemistry 

Marchitto, Thomas Mathew (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
Benthic foraminiferal δ13C, Cd/Ca, and Ba/Ca are important tools for reconstructing nutrient distributions, and thus ocean circulation, on glacial-interglacial timescales. However, each tracer has its own "artifacts" that ...

Linear and nonlinear stratified spindown over sloping topography 

Benthuysen, Jessica A (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
In a stratified rotating fluid, frictionally driven circulations couple with the buoyancy field over sloping topography. Analytical and numerical methods are used to quantify the impact of this coupling on the vertical ...
