AbstractMonin-Obukhov Similarity Theory (MOST) provides important scaling laws for flow properties in the surface layer of the atmosphere and has contributed to most of our understanding of the near-surface turbulence. The prediction of near-surface vertical mixing in most operational ocean models is largely built upon this theory. However, the validity of MOST in the upper ocean is questionable due to the demonstrated importance of surface waves in the region. Here we examine the validity of MOST in the statically unstable oceanic surface layer, using data collected from two open ocean sites with different wave conditions. The observed vertical temperature gradients are found to be about half of those predicted by MOST. We hypothesize this is attributable to either the breaking of surface waves, or Langmuir turbulence generated by the wave-current interaction. Existing turbulence closure models for surface wave breaking and for Langmuir turbulence are simplified to test these two hypotheses. Although both models predict reduced temperature gradients, the simplified Langmuir turbulence model matches observations more closely, when appropriately tuned.

abstract Several characteristics of oceanic surface waves can be altered by the presence of low rigidity sediments along the propagation path. Love and Rayleigh waves from mid-Atlantic ridge earthquakes bear many effects of oceanic sediments. The general absence of these surface waves for periods shorter than about 15 sec can be attributed to either attenuation or scattering in thin sediments. Thin sediments also disperse short-period Love waves. Sediments whose thickness exceeds about 2 km are responsible for removing surface-wave energy with periods up to 40 sec. These sediments also alter the particle motion of Rayleigh waves and are responsible for a complicated dispersion relation. These thick sediments substantially reduce the surface-wave phase velocity at periods in excess of 100 sec.

Seismic Surface Waves

Abstract The train of normally-dispersed, short-period, oceanic surface waves, commonly identified by the near-sinusoidal nature of all three components of ground motion in the period range of about 6 to 8 seconds, is shown to correspond to propagation in the first Love and first shear normal modes. Theoretical dispersion curves which agree with the observed dispersion of these short-period waves, as well as with dispersion of Rayleigh waves and Love waves of longer periods, are obtained for layered models of the oceanic crust which are consistent with results of seismic refraction studies. In order to obtain good quantitative agreement between theory and observation, it is essential that the effect of the small but finite rigidity of the deep-sea sedimentary layer be included in the calculations.
