Mixed layer lateral eddy fluxes mediated by air-sea interaction
The modulation of air-sea heat fluxes by geostrophic eddies due to the stirring of temperature at the sea surface is discussed and quantified. It is argued that the damping of eddy temperature variance by such air-sea fluxes enhances the dissipation of surface temperature fields. Depending on the timescale of damping relative to that of the eddying motions, surface eddy diffusivities can be sig...
متن کاملEddy-mixed layer interactions in the ocean
Numerical models have become essential tools in the study and prediction of natural climate variability and anthropogenic climate change. However the skill of such models in simulating the observed climate variability is still severely limited by (1) numerical approximations in the discretization of the hydrodynamical equations and (2) imperfect parameterizations of the myriad of atmospheric an...
متن کاملLarge-Eddy Simulation of Pressure Transport Below the Mixed Layer
Deep convection energizes the entire water column. Large-eddy simulation of the oceanic boundary layer system predicts turbulence in the well-mixed layer as well as turbulence-induced internal waves propagating into the underlying stratified water column of the freely convecting wintertime Labrador Sea. Of particular interest is the downward propagation of energy from the turbulent boundary lay...
متن کاملLarge eddy simulations of mixed layer instabilities and sampling strategies
The ocean's surface mixed layer is notoriously complex due to high spatial and temporal gradients of density and velocity fields. The surface mixed layer also exhibits sub-mesoscale instabilities which are challenging to observe due to their small scale and fast temporal evolution. Nevertheless, the small and sub-mesoscales represent the range of scale of naval operations and thus anomalous cur...
متن کاملThe Domain Layer for Mixed - Initiative Interaction
The design space exploration formalism has developed data structures and algorithms of sufficient complexity and scope to support conceptual layout, massing, and enclosure configurations. However, design remains a human enterprise. To support the user in designing with the formalism, we have developed an interaction model that addresses the interleaving of user actions with the formal operation...
