Oceanic LES Simulations to Interpret and Synthesize Turbulence Measurements Obtained During CBLAST-Low

Abstract

LONG-TERM GOALS To understand the effects of upper-ocean turbulent processes on air-sea interaction and obtain improved parameterization of these processes for use in coastal and large-scale ocean models. OBJECTIVES This proposal has two primary objectives: (1) to improve understanding of air-sea interaction in fetch-limited shallow seas; (2) interpret observational data collected during CBLAST-Low.
