Development of Turbulent Biological Closure Parameterizations

Abstract

The long-term goal of this project is to understand and represent the dynamical role of planktonic fluctuations induced by physical turbulence. Additionally, this work is intended to be the basis of an efficient representation and methodology which will allow their inclusion in real ocean mean field dynamical models. I. Extend Goodman and Robinson (2007) statistically based theory to include a greater variety of fundamental biophysical dynamical processes; II. Development of turbulent subgrid scale parameterizations for non linear biophysical interaction; III. Application of the PDF theory and the parameterized Advective Diffusive Reaction (ADR) model to oceanographically relevant processes.
