Approximate Stokes Drift Profiles in Deep Water

AbstractA deep-water approximation of the Stokes drift velocity profile is explored as an alternative to the monochromatic profile. The alternative profile investigated relies on the same two…

Langmuir turbulence in the ocean

Solutions are analysed from large-eddy simulations of the phase-averaged equations for oceanic currents in the surface planetary boundary layer (PBL), where the averaging is over high-frequency…

The form and orientation of Langmuir cells for misaligned winds and waves

[1] Large eddy simulations of the Craik-Leibovich equations are used to assess the effect of misaligned Stokes drift and wind direction on Langmuir cells in the ocean mixed layer. Misalignments from…

Observation and estimation of Lagrangian, Stokes and Eulerian currents induced by wind and waves at the sea surface

Abstract The surface current response to winds is analyzed in a 2-yr time series of a 12-MHz (HF) Wellen Radar (WERA) off the west coast of France. Consistent with previous observations, the measured…

Langmuir Turbulence in Swell

AbstractThe problem is posed and solved for the oceanic surface boundary layer in the presence of wind stress, stable density stratification, equilibrium wind-waves, and remotely generated…
