Spectral Modeling of Sub-Mesoscale Mixing Processes in the Ocean

Abstract

The top-level goals of this effort are to apply the QNSE (quasi-normal scale elimination) technique of parameterization of turbulent modeling to represent ocean mixing and to test and validate the emerging QNSE-based models against the data and other models. The new mixing schemes are expected to improve the prediction of the state of the ocean on sub-meso- and meso-scales.
