Citations in the corpus
- Rapid changes in mixed layer stratification driven by submesoscale instabilities and winds (2010, background): “Thomas and Ferrari [2008] showed that down‐front winds can easily overcome the restratification ensuing from frontogenesis.”
- A global perspective on Langmuir turbulence in the ocean surface boundary layer (2012, unknown): “Again our understanding is not mature: there are competing effects, so for example it is not known whether randomly orientated fronts lead to a net deepening or shoaling of the mixed layer [ Thomas and Ferrari , 2008; Mahadevan et al. , 2010].”
- Bringing physics to life at the submesoscale (2012, unknown): “The shutdown is particularly rapid and extreme when frontolysis is associated with 185 frontal instabilities (Boccaletti et al., 2007; Capet et al., 2008; Thomas and Ferrari, 2008), 186 sometimes taking just a few hours.”
- Parameterization of mixed layer eddies. Part II: Prognosis and, impact (2008, background): “Ferrari and Thomas (2008) find that MLEs are often at leading order.”
- Parameterization of Mixed Layer Eddies. Part I. Theory and Diagnosis (2008, background): “Ferrari and Thomas (2008) compare the rela- tive contributions from these mechanisms quantitatively and conclude that MLEs play an important role in near-surface restratification.”
- Submesoscale currents in the ocean (2016, background): “Furthermore, the example here is for a down-front wind, where the onset of CI due to the extraction of qE by the wind and the occurrence of convection induced by the eastward Ekman buoyancy flux (EBF; §6b and [74]) are not the primary behaviours.”
