Global Observations of Ocean-Bottom Subinertial Current Dissipation

Quadratic bottom boundary layer drag is a potentially significant source of energy dissipation in the deep ocean. This study presents a new estimate of the energy dissipated by this process, using results from the world’s largest archive of ocean current meter time series and focusing strongly upon the potential uncertainties in this calculation. Two methods are used, one based on a simple divi...

Open-ocean Convection: Observations, Theory, and Models

We review what is known about the convective process in the open ocean, in which the properties of large volumes of water are changed by intermittent, deep-reaching convection, triggered by winter storms. Observational, laboratory, and modeling studies reveal a fascinating and complex interplay of convective and geostrophic scales, the large-scale circulation of the ocean, and the prevailing me...

Form Drag on Ocean Flows

Form drag is a central process linking rough topography to ocean mixing processes. The history of the measurement of form drag in the ocean and atmosphere is reviewed. The basic equations governing form drag and its role in energy conversion are derived for a Boussinesq fluid, focusing on the case of tidal flow. Observational and numerical results are shown for stratified, tidal flow near a hea...

Observations of Jet Dissipation

We summarise the recent progress of a project to determine physical conditions in the jets of low-luminosity (FR I) radio galaxies. We model the jets as intrinsically symmetrical, relativistic, decelerating flows. By fitting to deep, high-resolution VLA images in total intensity and linear polarization, we have been able to derive for the first time the three-dimensional distributions of veloci...

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) over the open Indian Ocean

Atmospheric concentrations of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), a group of industrial chemicals widely used as flame retardants were measured over the Indian Ocean and represent the first comprehensive data of atmospheric contaminations of PBDEs over the open ocean. Air back trajectory analysis shows that PBDEs have great potential for long-range atmospheric transport to remote regions of...
