Mesoscale and Submesoscale Ekman Pumping in a Turbulent Ocean - Lecture 1
Offered By: International Centre for Theoretical Sciences via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the dynamics of mesoscale and submesoscale Ekman pumping in turbulent ocean environments through this comprehensive lecture. Delve into the complex interactions between eddies, waves, and turbulence in geophysical fluid dynamics. Gain insights into the energy transfers across multiple scales and their impact on oceanic circulation. Learn about the challenges in observing and modeling these phenomena, and discover the latest theoretical and practical approaches to understanding Ekman pumping at different scales. Examine the role of instabilities and frontal dynamics in shaping ocean currents and climate systems. This 50-minute talk, presented by David Straub at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences, is part of a broader program on Theoretical and Practical Perspectives in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, offering valuable knowledge for researchers and students in oceanography, atmospheric sciences, and climate studies.
