Turbulence off the Coast of Oregon: A Large-Eddy Simulation Study

Abstract

Our long-range research goal is to improve understanding of small-scale mixing processes in the coastal ocean environment and to incorporate the effects of these processes in coastal ocean models. We will increase the accuracy of coastal mesoscale prediction models by adding physically-based approximations to one-dimensional mixing parameterizations.
