Examination of the Mixed Layer Deepening Process during Convection Using LES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analysis of large-eddy simulation data of the ocean mixed layer under convection reveals that the contribution from wind stress decreases with time as a result of inertial oscillation in the extratropical ocean and that ...
Influence of Langmuir Circulation on the Deepening of the Wind-Mixed Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analysis of large eddy simulation data reveals that Langmuir circulation (LC) induces a significant enhancement of the mixed layer deepening, only if the mixed layer depth (MLD) h is shallow and the buoyancy jump across ...
Formation of a Diurnal Thermocline in the Ocean Mixed Layer Simulated by LES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The formation of a diurnal thermocline in the ocean mixed layer under a stabilizing buoyancy flux was simulated successfully by large-eddy simulation, reproducing various features consistent with observation. The analysis ...
