How do albatrosses fly around the world without flapping their wings (2011, background): “Sullivan et al. (2008) describe model simulations and observations that include illustrations of updrafts over swell waves.”
Direct-simulation-based study of turbulent flow over various waving boundaries (2010, background): “DNS results of Sullivan et al. (2000) are denoted by the thin lines with symbols: — —, c/u∗ = 0; —∇—, c/u∗ = 3.”
The Effect of Mesh Resolution on Convective Boundary Layer Statistics and Structures Generated by Large-Eddy Simulation (2011, background): “…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…”
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. [2010] show that wind and waves are rarely in equilibrium.”
Dynamics of Winds and Currents Coupled to Surface Waves (2010, methodology): “Figure taken from Sullivan et al. 2008 and used by permission from the American Meteorological Society.”
On the exchange of momentum over the open ocean (2013, background): “This has been supported by the large-eddy simulations of wind–swell interaction reported by Sullivan et al. (2008).”
Projection of Global Wave Climate Change toward the End of the Twenty-First Century (2012, background): “…a scientific perspective, waves represent a key process, in the climate system, modifying the exchange of momentum, heat, and mass across the air–sea interface (e.g., Sullivan et al. 2008; Smedman et al. 2009;H€ogstr€om et al. 2009; Semedo et al. 2009; Nilsson et al. 2012; Cavaleri et al. 2012).”
A global wave parameter database for geophysical applications. Part 1: Wave-current turbulence interaction parameters for the open ocean based on traditional parameterizations (2008, background): “Although the momentum flux profiles generally agree with the land data in the mean (Fairall et al., 2003), deviations are also evident at low and high wind, showing a clear departure from MoninObukhov theory, due to a variety of wave-related processes (e.g., Sullivan et al., 2008).”
