    • Evaluating langmuir turbulence parameterizations in the ocean surface boundary layer 

      Sutherland, G.; Christensen, K. H.; Ward, B. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2014-03-01)
      It is expected that surface gravity waves play an important role in the dynamics of the ocean surface boundary layer (OSBL), quantified with the turbulent Langmuir number (La-root u(*)/u(s0), where u(*) and u(s0) are the ...

    • Mixed and mixing layer depths in the ocean surface boundary layer under conditions of diurnal stratification 

      Sutherland, G.; Reverdin, G.; Marié, L.; Ward, B. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2014-12-04)
      A comparison between mixed (MLD) and mixing (XLD) layer depths is presented from the SubTRopical Atlantic Surface Salinity Experiment (STRASSE) cruise in the subtropical Atlantic. This study consists of 400 microstructure ...

    • Parameterizing air-sea gas transfer velocity with dissipation 

      Esters, L.; Landwehr, S.; Sutherland, G.; Bell, T. G.; Christensen, K. H.; Saltzman, E. S.; Miller, S. D.; Ward, B. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2017-04-01)
      The air-sea gas transfer velocity k is frequently estimated as an empirical function of wind speed. However, it is widely recognized that k depends on processes other than wind speed alone. The small-eddy model, which ...

    • Wave-turbulence scaling in the ocean mixed layer 

      Sutherland, G.; Ward, B.; Christensen, K. H. (Copernicus GmbH, 2013-07-08)
      Microstructure measurements were collected using an autonomous freely rising profiler under a variety of different atmospheric forcing and sea states in the open ocean. Here, profiles of turbulent kinetic energy dissipation ...
