Eddy-mixed layer interactions in the ocean
Numerical models have become essential tools in the study and prediction of natural climate variability and anthropogenic climate change. However the skill of such models in simulating the observed climate variability is still severely limited by (1) numerical approximations in the discretization of the hydrodynamical equations and (2) imperfect parameterizations of the myriad of atmospheric an...
متن کاملLarge-Eddy Simulation of Pressure Transport Below the Mixed Layer
Deep convection energizes the entire water column. Large-eddy simulation of the oceanic boundary layer system predicts turbulence in the well-mixed layer as well as turbulence-induced internal waves propagating into the underlying stratified water column of the freely convecting wintertime Labrador Sea. Of particular interest is the downward propagation of energy from the turbulent boundary lay...
متن کاملLarge eddy simulations of mixed layer instabilities and sampling strategies
The ocean's surface mixed layer is notoriously complex due to high spatial and temporal gradients of density and velocity fields. The surface mixed layer also exhibits sub-mesoscale instabilities which are challenging to observe due to their small scale and fast temporal evolution. Nevertheless, the small and sub-mesoscales represent the range of scale of naval operations and thus anomalous cur...
متن کاملWall-layer Models for Large-eddy Simulations
■ Abstract Because the cost of large-eddy simulations (LES) of wall-bounded flows that resolve all the important eddies depends strongly on the Reynolds number, methods to bypass the wall layer are required to perform high-Reynolds-number LES at a reasonable cost. In this paper the available methodologies are reviewed, and their ranges of applicability are highlighted. Various unresolved issues...
متن کاملLarge Eddy Simulations of the Summertime Cloudy Boundary Layer Over Arctic Ocean
Arctic stratus clouds (ASC) are important modulators of global climate. Through interaction with radiation, they have an important influence on the surface fluxes of heat, moisture and momentum in the boundary layer. Due to lack of properly understanding the clouds formation and their interactions with radiation, ASC are currently not realistically simulated by general circulation models (GCMs)...
