We have a new blog/wiki space here. Ask Baylor for accounts to access & upload.

Here is an image from npr.org showing Langmuir turbulence at work on the Gulf Oil Spill. Note the airplane for scale, and note how the vortices are perpendicular to the wave crests.

Many of us participated in convening a session at the 2010 Ocean Sciences meeting. (PO31B, PO33B, PO35E, PO35F). Thanks to our speakers and co-conveners!
