Seminar: Small-and large-Scale Energy Transfers from Oceanic Internal Gravity Waves
March 4, 2014 @ 11:30 a.m.

Chantal Staquet (LEGI (Laboratory of Geophysical and Industrial Fluid Flows), University of Grenoble, France) 
Internal gravity waves propagate in any medium stably-stratified with temperature or potential temperature. These waves propagate in media as various as the stable atmospheric boundary layer, the stratosphere, the ocean or the radiative zone of the Sun. Nonlinear interactions among these waves result in energy transfers, both toward small scales where molecular effects eventually lead to fluid mixing, and toward large scales, through the generation of a mean flow. Processes leading to such energy transfers will be discussed during the talk.

NWRA says Farewell Bob Robins (March 2014)
February 2014
|
Bob Robins has been an NWRA employee since NWRA first began hiring in 1986! Bob’s research has centered on numerical models and simulations of fluid dynamics, primarily internal waves and vortices. In his retirement, Bob is teaching at a community college and will continue to be involved in scientific research. Farewell Bob!
