Abstract: Turbulence measurements from under drifting pack ice illustrate the distribution of turbulent mixing length in the well-mixed layer of the upper ocean. Mixing length (? ≡ K/u*, where K and u* are the local eddy viscosity ...

Abstract: In an earlier paper, a second-moment turbulence closure model was applied to the problem of the dynamic and thermodynamic interaction of sea ice and the ocean surface mixed layer. An overly simplistic parameterization of ...

Abstract: A summary is presented of the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA) project, with a focus on the field experiment that was conducted from October 1997 to October 1998. The primary objective of the field work was ...
