RISCharacteristics of Langmuir Turbulence in the Ocean Mixed Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study uses large-eddy simulation (LES) to investigate the characteristics of Langmuir turbulence through the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) budget. Based on an analysis of the TKE budget a velocity scale for Langmuir ...
Wind-Driven Mixing below the Oceanic Mixed Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study describes the turbulent processes in the upper ocean boundary layer forced by a constant surface stress in the absence of the Coriolis force using large-eddy simulation. The boundary layer that develops has a ...
Langmuir Turbulence and Surface Heating in the Ocean Surface Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study uses large-eddy simulation to investigate the structure of the ocean surface boundary layer (OSBL) in the presence of Langmuir turbulence and stabilizing surface heat fluxes. The OSBL consists of a weakly stratified ...
Reply to “Comments on ‘Langmuir Turbulence and Surface Heating in the Ocean Surface Boundary Layer’”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe differences between the conclusions of Noh and Choi and of Pearson et al., which are largely a result of defining different length scales based on different quantities, are discussed. This study shows that the ...
