Simulation of Lagrangian Drifters in the Labrador Sea

Abstract

The long-term goals of the Oceanic Planetary Boundary Layer (OPBL) Laboratory are to understand the role of the OPBL in exchanging momentum, mass and energy between the ocean and the atmosphere, and to build and verify realistic models for OPBL processes in ocean circulation and air-sea interactions.
