Modeling the Effects of Anisotropic Turbulence and Dispersive Waves on Oceanic Circulation and their Incorporation in Navy Ocean Models
Abstract
Our long-term goals are to advance the understanding and modeling capabilities of the dynamics and mixing in oceanic and atmospheric turbulent flows on small and large scales. The main emphasis is put on the development of analytical tools and their transition to practical applications useful for Navy operations. Our objectives encompass three areas: improving understanding of geophysical turbulent flows affected by anisotropy and waves using analytical tools; improving understanding of the physics of transition between 2D and 3D turbulence and the mechanisms of zonation, and improving performance of practically used ocean models by supplying them with advanced schemes for subgridscale parameterization.
