The effects of ocean eddies on tropical cyclones
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
The purpose of this study is to understand the interactions of tropical cyclones with ocean eddies. In particular we examine the influence of a cold-core eddy on the cold wake formed during the passage of Typhoon Fanapi ...
Abyssal mixing from bottom boundary effects in Mid-Atlantic Ridge flank canyons
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
This paper begins to explore a previously neglected mechanism for abyssal ocean mixing using bottom boundary layer dynamics. Abyssal mixing and the associated upward buoyancy fluxes are necessary to balance the sinking of ...
