Superparameterization of Oceanic Boundary Layer Transport

Abstract

The long-term goal is to achieve deeper understanding of physical processes in turbulent planetary boundary layers and apply it to the development of more physically accurate modeling of coherent vortices to assess the oceanic boundary layer parameterizations used in high-resolution ocean models, specifically with respect to their impact on synoptic model predictions.
