Hawaiian Winter Workshop Proceedings of Parameterization of Small-Scale Processes Held in Manoa, Hawaii on 17-20 January 1989

Abstract

The fifth 'Aha Huliko'a Hawaiian Winter Workshop was held from January 17 to 20, 1989 at the East-West Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. The topic was the 'Parameterization of small-scale processes' in oceanic general circulation models. The workshop brought together numerical modelers, theoreticians and observers to address the question of whether or not observations of small-scale processes are consistent with their parameterization in numerical models. The order of the papers loosely follows the agenda of the workshop, covering general circulation models and their sensitivity to diffusion coefficients, observations of mixing in the ocean, laboratory and atmosphere, and discussions of major issues such as interior versus boundary mixing or the rate control of mixing.
