Ocean Mixing Parameterisation via Categorisation of Nonlinear Flow Structures - Project 2: Experimental Validation

University of Dundee School of Science and Engineering

One of the key challenges for large-scale climate models is to accurately parameterise the mixing which occurs in the oceans. Such mixing occurs at small-scales, well below the grid-resolution of the climate models, and consists of the turbulent exchange of heat and salt between neighbouring regions of fluid. Read more
