The application of turbulence models to geophysical flows: Turbulence in the ocean
Abstract
Topics covered include (1) basic equations of ocean hydrodynamics; (2) time scales, length scales, and linear wave theory; (3) dispersions bands in the ocean - macroscale and mesoscale waves; (4) interaction band in the ocean; (5) turbulent windows in the w-k plane; (6) spectrum of turbulence and the energy cascade; (7) averaging and parameterization of unresolved motions; and (8) boundary turbulence.
