Numerical Modeling of Wave-Current interactions in the Presence of Submesoscale Ocean Features
Abstract
Funds are provided to study wave-current interactions in the presence of oceanic submesoscale features such as fronts, filaments, and eddies. The proposed work will investigate feedbacks on submesoscale processes due to wave-current interactions. The Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) will be coupled to the wave model WaveWatch III (WW3) to study realistic wave-current interactions over the mid and inner continental shelf. This work is a collaborative effort with an observational field program that will provide the necessary data for validation, verification, and improvement of the coupled ocean-wave model.
