• Interleaving of oxygenized intrusions into the Baltic Sea redoxcline 

      Holtermann, PeterORCIDiD; Prien, Ralf; Naumann, Michael; Umlauf, LarsORCIDiD (Limnology and Oceanography, 2019)
      Semi-enclosed marginal seas like the Baltic Sea are often characterized by permanently anoxic deep layers, and may therefore serve as important model systems to study the causes and consequences of the predicted global ...
    • Shear Instability and Turbulence Within a Submesoscale Front Following a Storm 

      Carpenter, Jeffrey R.ORCIDiD; Rodrigues, Arthur; Schultze, Larissa K. P.ORCIDiD; Merckelbach, Lucas M.; Suzuki, NobuhiroORCIDiD; Baschek, Burkard; Umlauf, LarsORCIDiD (Geophysical Research Letters, 2020-12-10)
      Narrow baroclinic fronts are observed in the surface mixed layer (SML) of the Baltic Sea following an autumn storm. The fronts are subjected to hydrodynamic instabilities that lead to submesoscale and turbulent motions ...
    • The Vertical Structure and Entrainment of Subglacial Melt Water Plumes 

      Burchard, HansORCIDiD; Bolding, Karsten; Jenkins, AdrianORCIDiD; Losch, MartinORCIDiD; Reinert, MarkusORCIDiD; Umlauf, LarsORCIDiD (Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022-03-14)
      Basal melting of marine‐terminating glaciers, through its impact on the forces that control the flow of the glaciers, is one of the major factors determining sea level rise in a world of global warming. Detailed quantitative ...
    • Thermocline Salinity Minima Due To Wind‐Driven Differential Advection 

      Chrysagi, EvridikiORCIDiD; Basdurak, N. Berkay; Umlauf, LarsORCIDiD; Gräwe, UlfORCIDiD; Burchard, HansORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2022-10-27)
      Observations from the global ocean have long confirmed the ubiquity of thermohaline inversions in the upper ocean, often accompanied by a clear signal in biogeochemical properties. Their emergence has been linked to different ...
