Abstract: his is a revision of a previous paper dealing with three-dimensional wave-current interactions. It is shown that the continuity and momentum equations in the absence of surface waves can include waves after the addition ...

Abstract: By considering the complex of one-point, turbulent moment equations for velocity, pressure and temperature, it appears possible to predict some properties of diabatic, density-stratified planetary layers using empirical ...

Abstract: The first part of this paper is generic; it demonstrates a problem associated with one-dimensional, ocean surface layer model comparisons with ocean observations. Unlike three-dimensional simulations or the real ocean, ...

Abstract: A semi-empirical theory, used to predict buoyancy effects in a density-stratified and shear-driven flow, is also applied to the case of a boundary layer with curvature. Curved flow data are available and interesting in ...

Abstract: Sommeria and Deardorff (1977) have derived turbulence closure relations which should be important to cloud modeling. To obtain these relations they have hade to invoke some analytical approximations and data from numerical ...

Abstract: A primitive equation regional model is used to study the effects of surface and lateral forcing on the variability and the climatology of the Gulf Stream system. The model is an eddy-resolving, coastal ocean model that ...

Abstract: A primitive equation ocean model that makes use of a curvilinear orthogonal grid and a sigma-coordinate system was used to simulate the Mediterranean Sea The model was forced with monthly climatological values of wind ...

Abstract: Turbulence models centered on hypotheses by Rotta and Kolmogoroff are complex. In the present paper we consider systematic simplifications based on the observation that parameters governing the degree of anisotropy are ...
