Evaluation of Turbulence-Closure Schemes for the Coastal Ocean

Abstract

We wish to understand the dynamics of small-scale mixing processes in the ocean (e.g. turbulence, intrusions, and convection) and to determine how to parameterize their fluxes for use in larger-scale numerical models and in theory.
