Submesoscale processes in the high and low potential vorticity bottom boundary layer
COASTAL OCEAN AND SHELF SEA DYNAMICS V ORAL
ocean sciences | 12 december 2024
Jacob O. Wenegrat, Leif N. Thomas
The geometry of the bottom boundary layer over sloping topography, where slope-normal shear projects on both the horizontal and vertical directions, m...

The turbulent dynamics and energetics of submesoscale anticyclonic headland interactions
COASTAL OCEAN AND SHELF SEA DYNAMICS I POSTER
ocean sciences | 12 december 2024
Tomas Chor, Jacob O. Wenegrat
Flow-bathymetry interactions are thought to be important for dissipation and mixing in the global ocean. Despite this, there are large uncertainties r...

Observed air-sea thermal feedback at submesoscale fronts
EXPLAINING AND PREDICTING MIDLATITUDE WEATHER, CLIMATE, AND OCEAN VARIABILITY AND CHANGE THROUGH AIR-SEA INTERACTIONS AND TELECONNECTIONS II ORAL
atmospheric sciences | 09 december 2024
Igor Uchoa, Jacob O. Wenegrat, Luc Lenain, Larry W...
Much of our understanding of how ocean variability leads to air-sea interactions is constrained to the ocean mesoscale and larger. At smaller scales i...

Breaking Internal Waves on Sloping Topography: Connecting Parcel Displacements to Overturn Size, Interior-Boundary Exchanges, and Mixing
DYNAMICS, ENERGETICS, AND MIXING IN THE OCEANIC BOTTOM BOUNDARY LAYER II ORAL
physical oceanography: mesoscale and smaller | 21 february 2024
Victoria Whitley, Jacob O. Wenegrat
Internal waves impinging on topographic slopes can generate mixing through the formation of near-bottom bores and overturns in what has been called th...

DYNAMICS, ENERGETICS, AND MIXING IN THE OCEANIC BOTTOM BOUNDARY LAYER I POSTER
physical oceanography: mesoscale and smaller | 20 february 2024
Tomas Chor, Jacob O. Wenegrat
Flow interacting with topography can generate submesoscale wakes that have been posited to be an important factor driving dissipation and mixing in th...

Crossing gray zones in submesoscale ocean modeling: develop nesting strategy for regional- to large-eddy-scale simulation with CROCO (Coastal and Regional Ocean COmmunity model)
NUMERICAL METHODS FOR COMPUTATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHY I POSTER
digital ocean | 20 february 2024
Zihan Chen, Jacob O. Wenegrat
The gray-zone problem has long been recognized by the atmospheric modeling community for the study of the planetary boundary layer and numerical weath...

Submesoscale sea surface temperature variability as a sink of eddy energy in a coupled regional model
OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC INTERACTIONS AND DRIVERS: THEIR SCALE DEPENDENCE AND CLIMATE IMPACTS I POSTER
air-sea interactions | 20 february 2024
Igor Uchoa, Jacob O. Wenegrat, Lionel Renault
Air-sea interaction impacts ocean energetics via modifications to the exchange of momentum and buoyancy. Prior work at the submesoscale has largely fo...

Submesoscale Parameterizations Have Not Been Evaluated for Entrainment
SUBMESOSCALE OCEAN DYNAMICS AND VERTICAL TRANSPORT I ORAL
physical oceanography: mesoscale and smaller | 19 february 2024
Anna Lo Piccolo, Baylor Fox-Kemper, Genevieve J. B...
Baroclinic mixed-layer instabilities (MLIs) are an important dynamic of frontal relaxation that cannot be resolved in today's global ocean models. The...
