- Submesoscale Instability and Generation of Mesoscale Anticyclones near a Separation of the California Undercurrent (2015, methodology): “Flows that are dominated by a geostrophic force balance are expected to have small values of d relative to the vertical vorticity zz; hence, large d can be associated with unbalanced dynamics (see also Molemaker et al. 2010; Capet et al. 2008b).”
- Internal gravity waves from atmospheric jets and fronts (2014, background): “Recent high-resolution numerical simulations, both idealized [Molemaker et al., 2010] and realistic [Capet et al., 2008a, 2008b], have rather emphasized the appearance, at short scales, of frontal instabilities.”
- Balance and Spontaneous Wave Generation in Geophysical Flows (2013, background): “IGWs are not the only form of unbalanced motion generated spontaneously: the order-one Rossby numbers that appear near horizontal boundaries, in particular, lead to strong unbalanced instabilities which may play an important role for the dissipation of the large-scale balanced circulation (Molemaker”

(2010) show that ageostrophic flows are responsible for reversing the direction of the energy cascade of a surface QG–like flow from upscale in the QG limit to downscale in a Boussinesq system that allows frontogenesis.”
