The Wave-Driven Ocean Circulation
Oceanic surface gravity waves have a mean Lagrangian motion, the Stokes drift. The dynamics of winddriven, basin-scale oceanic currents in the presence of Stokes drift are modified by the addition of so-called vortex forces and wave-induced material advection, as well by wave-averaged effects in the surface boundary conditions for the dynamic pressure, sea level, and vertical velocity. Some the...
متن کاملContemplating Ocean Wave Measurements
This is a personal contemplation on the state of ocean wave measurement, historically, and with an eye toward the future. The conceptual basis which leads to the conventional wave measuring instruments has been in practice for over six decades which is basically single point observations of three-dimensional waves. We need new conceptual advancement and new instrumentation to rejuvenate our res...
متن کاملWave Breaking Dissipation in the Wave-Driven Ocean Circulation
If wave breaking modifies the Lagrangian fluid orbital paths by inducing an uncertainty in the path itself and this uncertainty on wave motion time scales is observable as additive noise, it is shown that within the context of a wave/current interaction model for basin and shelf scale motions it persists on long time scales. The model of McWilliams et al. (2004) provides the general framework f...
متن کاملOcean Wave Speed in the Antarctic MIZ
The propagation of ocean waves in the marginal ice zone (MIZ) is investigated with the aim of determining whether the loading and scattering of waves by ice floes is significant. Measurements made using instrumented ice floes in the MIZ north of the Ross Sea, Antarctica, during June 1998, are used to determine the frequency-wavelength relationship for propagating ocean waves in that region. Thi...
