A Multiscale Nested Modeling Framework to Simulate the Interaction of Surface Gravity Waves with Nonlinear Internal Gravity Waves

Abstract

Our long-term goal is to develop a multiscale nested modeling framework that simulates, with the finest resolution being centimeter scale, surface mixed layer processes arising from the combined actions of tides, winds and mesoscale currents. Issues related to nesting of models designed to study phenomena at different scales will be studied, including how to nest the regional and nonhydrostatic SUNTANS model within the global HYCOM model, as well as nesting of small-scale LES codes into the SUNTANS model.
