Lateral Mixing DRI: Turbulence-Resolving Simulations of Upper-Ocean Lateral Mixing
Abstract
The focus of modeling in this study is to quantify relationships between surface fluxes of heat, energy and momentum, the available baroclinic potential energy, the resultant vertical mixing and geostrophic imbalance, and the ensuing dependence of lateral mixing at successively larger scales on atmospheric forcing.
