Wind Direction and Equilibrium Mixed Layer Depth: General Theory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A usually neglected Coriolis term in the turbulent kinetic energy budget of the ocean surface mixed layer is examined for the special case of a steady-state mixed layer depth with no entrainment. In this term, the Reynolds ...
Wind Direction and Equilibrium Mixed Layer Depth in the Tropical Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The normal equilibrium state of the tropical Pacific mixed layer is explained by the steady state solution for the maximum vertical penetration of oceanic turbulence generated by local atmospheric forcing. The previously ...
