Baroclinic Interleaving Instability: A Second-Moment Closure Approach
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nterleaving motions on a wide, baroclinic front are modeled using a second-moment closure to represent unresolved fluxes by turbulence and salt fingering. A linear perturbation analysis reveals two broad classes of unstable ...
Numerical Discretization of Rotated Diffusion Operators in Ocean Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method to improve the behavior of the numerical discretization of a rotated diffusion operator such as, for example, the isopycnal diffusion parameterization used in large-scale ocean models based on the so-called ...
