Astronomical Tides and Turbulent Mixing in ROMS/TOMS

Abstract

The long-term goal of this effort is to improve the Navy community ocean circulation model ROMS/TOMS by incorporating astronomical tidal forcing and the latest developments in turbulent mixing. The principal objective of this research is to improve subgrid-scale parameterization in Navy community and operational ocean circulation models. This is to be accomplished by assessing and refining turbulent mixing parameterization as well as including comprehensive direct astronomical tidal forcing of importance to many semi-enclosed marginal seas.
