Subgrid-Scale Parameterization in 3-D Models: The Role of Turbulent Mixing

Abstract

The long-term goal of this effort is to help improve turbulent mixing parameterization in 3-D numerical ocean circulation models used for studying the oceans, and in operational centers, for nowcasting/forecasting the oceanic state. The principal objective of this research is to help improve second moment closure (SCM) based ocean mixed layer (OML) models that are in current (and potential future) use in Navy community and operational ocean circulation models.
