What do we need to Probe Upper Ocean Stratification Remotely? (2020)
Journal Article
Shrira, V., & Almelah, R. (2020). What do we need to Probe Upper Ocean Stratification Remotely?. Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics, 63, 1 - 20. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11141-020-10030-2

We consider whether it is possible in principle to retrieve the key parameters of the mixed layer in the upper ocean (its thickness, bulk eddy viscosity and the pycnocline stratification below) using a theoretical model, which assumes the surface vel...

Boundary layer collapses described by the two-dimensional intermediate long-wave equation (2020)
Journal Article
Oloo, J., & Shrira, V. (2020). Boundary layer collapses described by the two-dimensional intermediate long-wave equation. Theoretical and Mathematical Physics, 203, 512 - 523. https://doi.org/10.1134/S0040577920040078

We study the nonlinear dynamics of localized perturbations of a confined generic boundary-layer shear flow in the framework of the essentially two-dimensional generalization of the intermediate long-wave (2d-ILW) equation. The 2d-ILW equation was ori... Read More about Boundary layer collapses described by the two-dimensional intermediate long-wave equation.

Upper-ocean Ekman current dynamics: a new perspective (2020)
Journal Article
Shrira, V., & Almelah, R. B. (2020). Upper-ocean Ekman current dynamics: a new perspective. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 887, Article A24. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2019.1059

The work examines upper-ocean response to time-varying winds within the Ekman paradigm. Here, in contrast to the earlier works we assume the eddy viscosity to be both time and depth dependent. For self-similar depth and time dependence of eddy viscos... Read More about Upper-ocean Ekman current dynamics: a new perspective.
