Abstract: This paper considers several parameterizations of dissipation in a Kraus-Turner (1967) seasonal mixed-layer model with no net annual surface buoyancy flux. By studying the behavior of the turbulent kinetic energy equation ...

Abstract: A Kraus-Turner (1967) seasonal mixed-layer model with constant background dissipation is used to study the mixed-layer response to the vertical motions of linear Rossby waves that are not driven by direct local atmospheric ...

Abstract: Heat flux, CTD and current profile data from the Hawaii-to- Tahiti Shuttle Experiment are used to study the upper ocean heat budget in order to better understand the seasonal evolution of sea surface temperature (SST) in ...
