Implications for Surface Wave-Induced Drift of Floating Marine Litter
We examine Stokes drift and wave-induced transport of floating marine litter on the surface of a rotating ocean with a turbulent mixed layer. Due to Coriolis-Stokes forcing and surface wave stress, a second-order Eulerian-mean flow forms, which must be added to the Stokes drift t

Near-surface wind speed is typically only measured by point observations. The so-called Actively Heated Fiber-Optic (AHFO) technique, however, has the potential to provide high-resolution distributed observations, allowing for better understanding of different processes. However,
