A New Look at Richardson Number Mixing Schemes for Equatorial Ocean Modeling
A reexamination of turbulence dissipation measurements from the equatorial Pacific shows that the turbulence diffusivities are not a simple function of the gradient Richardson number. A widely used mixing scheme, the K-profile parameterization, overpredicts the turbulent vertical heat flux by roughly a factor of 4 in the stably stratified region between the surface mixed layer and the Equatoria...
متن کاملTime Integration of Diapycnal Diffusion and Richardson Number Dependent Mixing in Isopycnal Coordinate Ocean Models
In isopycnal coordinate ocean models, diapycnal diffusion must be expressed as a nonlinear difference equation. This nonlinear equation is not amenable to traditional implicit methods of solution, but explicit methods typically have a time step limit of order (where is the time step, h is the isopycnal layer thickness, and κ is the diapycnal diffusivity), which cannot generally be satisfied sin...
متن کاملA New Look at the Schouten-Nijenhuis, Frölicher-Nijenhuis and Nijenhuis-Richardson Brackets for Symplectic Spaces
In this paper we re-express the Schouten-Nijenhuis, the Frölicher-Nijenhuis and the Nijenhuis-Richardson brackets on a symplectic space using the extended Poisson brackets structure present in the path-integral formulation of classical mechanics.
متن کاملNew Look-Ahead Schemes for Constraint Satisfaction
This paper presents new look-ahead schemes for backtracking search when solving constraint satisfaction problems. The look-ahead schemes compute a heuristic for value ordering and domain pruning, which influences variable orderings at each node in the search space. As a basis for a heuristic, we investigate two tasks, both harder than the CSP task. The first is finding the solution with min-num...
متن کاملA new look at uncertainty in end member mixing models for streamflow partitioning
Chemical and isotope based hydrograph separation methods, such as end member mixing analysis (EMMA), have been utilized in recent decades because they offer a better explanation of stream chemistry than can be obtained from flow partitions derived using graphical or mathematical filter hydrograph partitioning techniques (Chapman and Maxwell, 1996; Pinder and Jones, 1969). However, use of such c...
