Abstract: Two-equation models are being increasingly used to model turbulence in geophysical flows. A salient aspect of these flows is the stable gravitational stratification, which implies that turbulent fluctuations can generate ...

Abstract: Cheng, Canuto, and Howard have presented a second-moment closure PBL model that appears to overcome some of the shortcomings of the existing Mellor and Yamada?type closure models. This note demonstrates that with a slight ...

Abstract: A primitive equation, three-dimensional, baroclinic circulation model has been configured for use in the North Indian Ocean. After having been spun up by climatological winds, the model was used to generate a hindcast for ...

Abstract: The authors apply a one-dimensional mixed layer model, based on second moment closure of turbulence, to study the characteristics of turbulence in the equatorial mixed layer. In particular, they focus on characteristics ...

Abstract: A diagnostic calculation that involves integration of the geostrophic equations for total transport along contours of constant planetary potential vorticity (f/H) is described and applied to the South Atlantic Bight. The ...

Abstract: The observed and predicted response of the bulk ? skin sea surface temperature difference (δT) to changes in the wind speed and net heat flux is analyzed. Observations of δT from the northern Atlantic and tropical Pacific ...
