The Mixing Efficiency of Stratified Turbulent Boundary Layers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he mixing efficiency observed in stratified turbulent boundary layers is considered within the framework of the Monin?Obukhov similarity theory. It is shown that the efficiency within the layer increases with distance from ...
Available Potential Energy and the General Circulation: Partitioning Wind, Buoyancy Forcing, and Diapycnal Mixing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he ocean energy cycle is calculated using a new available potential energy (APE) decomposition, which partitions adiabatic buoyancy fluxes from diapycnal mixing, applied to results from the Estimating the Circulation and ...
