Wave-Current Interaction in an Oceanic Circulation Model with a Vortex-Force Formalism: Application to the Surf Zone (2010, unknown): “We base the model on th Eulerian-averaged, multi-73 scale, wave-current asymptotic theory derived in McWilliams et al. (2004)(MRL04).”
Dynamics of Winds and Currents Coupled to Surface Waves (2010, background): “There is also a wave contribution to the pressure in the form of a Bernoulli head (McWilliams et al. 2004).”
Explicit wave-averaged primitive equations using a generalized Lagrangian mean (2007, background): “The approach of MRL04 is in the line of perturbation theories presented by Mei (1989) for Eulerian variables and monochromatic waves.”
Submesoscale currents in the ocean (2016, background): “Because the peak wavenumber of the wave energy spectrum in WWE is associated with a small slope in the sea surface (implying an approximate linear propagation dynamics) and because the peak wave period is much shorter than a current evolution time, a rational asymptotic theory of wave-averaged dynam”
On the Interaction of Surface Waves and Upper Ocean Turbulence (2006, methodology): “This TKE production term appears as the result of the vertical gradient of a waveinduced radiation stress term (also called “Bernouilli head” in that context), and it also arises using the more general extension of the Craik–Leibovich equations given by McWilliams et al. (2004).”
Development of a three-dimensional, regional, coupled wave, current, and sediment-transport model (2008, methodology): “to wave-induced circulation in the nearshore, including the vortex-force representation of McWilliams et al. (2004). We also are investigating other modelcoupling methodologies, such as the Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF, http://www.”
