Abstract: The parameterization of the effect of the unresolved scales of motion on a passive tracer field in large-scale numerical ocean models is analyzed through a combination of Lagrangian and Eulerian velocities. The primitive ...

Abstract: In this report, the potential for salt finger instability in the central water of the World Ocean is examined. The form of the temperature? salinity relationship determined from the Levitus climatological data and the ...

Abstract: The Lagrangian and Eulerian descriptions of the flow in a double gyre, eddy-resolving numerical simulation are compared in the context of exploring the use of drifter arrays to describe ocean circulation. The parameterization ...
