This is a good summary of what would be absolutely devastating to the United States ability to do science.
Some key findings include: Finescale turbulence does a significant (~25%) amount of the total vertical exchange! This only happens in specific places, and is energized by the fronts themselves! Because of that, this is likely missing in models that don't resolve turbulence.

This is a really interesting multi-scale fluid dynamics problem (my personal favorite motivation), but also one with lots of practical importance as we try to understand how well represented these exchanges are in models that don't directly resolve turbulence.

Thanks for reading!

If I’m not evolved enough to understand it, then why did they have to steal my writing to train it?

New preprint looking at the question of how the interaction between fronts (~1 kilometer) and turbulence (~10s of meters) affects the exchange of properties between the ocean mixed-layer and interior.
Work by Zhihua Zheng along with @baylorfk.bsky.social, Tomas Chor, and Jay Brett.

This one was really fun to do. Lots of new ideas discovered in there!
