• Storm-induced turbulence alters shelf sea vertical fluxes 

      Schultze, Larissa K. P.ORCIDiD; Merckelbach, Lucas M.; Carpenter, Jeffrey R.ORCIDiD (Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2020)
      Storms are infrequent, intense, physical forcing events that represent a potentially significant driver of ocean ecosystems. The objective of this study was to assess changes in water column structure and turbulent fluxes ...
    • The Role of Turbulence in Fueling the Subsurface Chlorophyll Maximum in Tidally Dominated Shelf Seas 

      Becherer, JohannesORCIDiD; Burchard, HansORCIDiD; Carpenter, Jeffrey R.ORCIDiD; Graewe, Ulf; Merckelbach, Lucas M. (Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2022-08-25)
      Glider observations show a subsurface chlorophyll maximum (SCM) at the base of the seasonal pycnocline in the North Sea during stable summer conditions. A colocated peak in the dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy ...
