Abstract: A new turbulence formulation for the planetary boundary layer (PBL) is presented and compared with large-eddy simulations (LES) for the dry PBL. The new scheme contains a prognostic equation for the turbulent kinetic energy. ...

Abstract: A new second-order turbulence closure scheme is proposed for the oceanic mixed layer. The scheme is similar in complexity to a Mellor?Yamada level 2.5 scheme in that the turbulent kinetic energy is the only turbulence ...
