A boundary-value problem for the parameterized mesoscale eddy transport (2010, methodology): “1 shows there is a near exact agreement between the boundary-value problem structure function (39) and the structure function (37) from Fox-Kemper et al. (2008).”
The form and orientation of Langmuir cells for misaligned winds and waves (2012, background): “In more realistic scenarios, restratification mechanisms [Fox-Kemper et al., 2008, 2011] (e.g., solar heating or mixed layer eddies) would reduce the mixed layer depth toward the Langmuir or other boundary layer mixing depth where turbulence is strong.”
Bringing physics to life at the submesoscale (2012, background): “Later, meanders and eddies develop along the front and slumping accelerates as a result of baroclinic instability [Fox-Kemper et al., 2008].”
Interpreting Energy and Tracer Spectra of Upper-Ocean Turbulence in the Submesoscale Range (1–200 km) (2013, background): “Energetic submesoscale ﬂows can develop and dominate over the interior modes in the mixed layer (e.g., Fox-Kemper et al. 2008; Capet et al. 2008b; Shcherbina et al. 2013).”
Variability of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation in CCSM4 (2012, unknown): “…values in the upper ocean and much smaller diffusivities at depth, and iv) the restratification effects of the finite-amplitude, submesoscale mixed layer eddies are included using the mixed layer eddy parameterization of Fox-Kemper et al. (2008) as implemented by Fox-Kemper et al. (2011).”
Using a resolution function to regulate parameterizations of oceanic mesoscale eddy effects (2013, background): “Some improvements in large-scale measures of eddy effects, such as the Southern Ocean overturning response to wind-stress changes, can be obtained by adopting parameterizations whose intensity and structure are free to vary greatly with the model’s simulated state (Gent and Danabasoglu, 2011).”
Friction, Frontogenesis, and the Stratification of the Surface Mixed Layer (2008, background): “Lapeyre et al. (2006) and Fox-Kemper et al. (2008) have recently pointed out that during times of weak air–sea fluxes, lateral dynamics become leading order and tend to re-stratify the mixed layer through ageostrophic slumping of lateral buoyancy gradients.”
A global perspective on Langmuir turbulence in the ocean surface boundary layer (2012, unknown): “Finally, a recent parameterization of the restratification of the OSBL by submesoscale eddies [ Fox-Kemper et al. , 2008] reduces many of the deep biases in climate models [ Fox-Kemper et al. , 2011], but it exacerbates the shallow biases, such as in the Southern Ocean.”
