    • The response of ocean salinity patterns to climate change : implications for circulation 

      Levang, Samuel J.(Samuel James) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
      Global patterns of ocean salinity arise from the exchange of freshwater between the sea surface and the atmosphere. For a quasi-steady state system, these surface fluxes are balanced by compensating transports of salt in ...

    • Stratified and stirred : monsoon freshwater in the Bay of Bengal 

      Spiro Jaeger, Gualtiero Victor Rudi. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
      Submesoscale ocean dynamics and instabilities, with characteristic scales 0.1-10 kin, can play a critical role in setting the ocean's surface boundary layer thickness and associated density stratification. Submesoscale ...
