Lower-atmosphere upper-ocean interactions: the influences of breaking waves
(2015-10-29)Wave breaking at the ocean surface is an important process for air-sea exchange. Whitecaps are visual sea surface signatures of breaking waves. By measuring the fractional coverage of whitecaps on the sea surface, it ... -
Mixing and mixed layer depths in the ocean
(NUI Galway, 2021-02-28)The ocean surface boundary layer (OSBL) is one of the largest global regulators of climate. There are two definitions associated with its depth: the mixed layer depth (MLD) and the mixing layer depth (XLD). The former is ... -
OpenFOAM computational fluid dynamics studies on the ocean-atmosphere
(2015-09-05)Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is the use of applied mathematics, physics, and computational software to visualize how a fluid flows around objects. CFD is based on the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe how the ... -
Sediment mobility modelling and hydrodynamic properties of maerl
(2016-11-11)Sediment mobility modelling is a useful tool for scientifically robust marine spatial planning and characterisation of the benthic disturbance regime. As a prerequisite to modelling sediment transport of free living coralline ...
