A global perspective on Langmuir turbulence in the ocean surface boundary layer (2012, unknown): “But this is an unsatisfactory approach because Sullivan et al. [2008] and Hanley et al.”
Directional Wind-Wave Coupling in Fully Coupled Atmosphere-Wave-Ocean Models: Results from CBLAST-Hurricane (2013, background): “…have made it possible for us to develop a new generation of high-resolution, coupled atmosphere– wave–ocean hurricane prediction models that are capable of representing the complex sea states with explicit coupling to ocean surface waves in high-wind conditions (Sullivan and McWilliams 2010).”
The form and orientation of Langmuir cells for misaligned winds and waves (2012, background): “, Global climate model sensitivity to estimated Langmuir mixing, manuscript in preparation, 2011], and the surface wavefield impacts the upper ocean directly through the breaking of waves and the corresponding transfer of momentum into the surface layer [Craig and Banner, 1994; Sullivan and McWillia”
Submesoscale currents in the ocean (2016, background): “Surface wave effects on currents are well known to be important in SBL turbulence, in the regime called Langmuir turbulence [107]; they are also important in the littoral zone where shoaling waves break and accelerate along-shore and rip currents [108].”
The Effect of Mesh Resolution on Convective Boundary Layer Statistics and Structures Generated by Large-Eddy Simulation (2011, background): “Applications include, atmosphere–land interactions (Patton et al. 2005), boundary layers with surface water wave effects (Sullivan and McWilliams 2010; Sullivan et al. 2007, 2008), weakly stable nocturnal flows (Beare et al. 2006), flow in complex terrain (Lundquist et al. 2010), stratocumulus…”
Structure of the airflow above surface waves (2016, background): “As emphasized by Sullivan and McWilliams (2010), this mechanism is common in aerodynamics, where an average thinning (thickening) of a turbulent boundary layer is known to occur upstream (downstream) of a blunt object.”
