Parameterizing Internal Wave and Boundary Mixing in a Canyon (AESOP Internal Waves and Boundary Mixing)

Abstract

This project in collaboration with Eric Kunze at the University of Victoria aims to increase our understanding of internal wave processes affecting diapycnal mixing in the ocean, with the ultimate goal of improving mixing parameterizations in numerical models.
