This book was released on 1996 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Development of a general quasi-isopycnal code suitable for numerical experimentation and test of parameterizations was the main goal of the proposed research. A versatile ocean modeling system, which the authors refer to as the Thermodynamic Ocean Modeling System (TOMS) is the result of this effort. TOMS is based on an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) vertical coordinate and is a hybrid between isopycnal and z-coordinate models. The modeling system is designed for oceanic and coastal flows where the aspect ratio is small. As part of the development effort, the authors also proposed to implement and test new numerical schemes, parameterizations of boundary layer flow and development and implementation of mixed layer physics in this model. The addition objectives for the proposed research were: (1) incorporate various mixed layer parameterizations; (2) implement and test the positive definite Arakawa and Hsu, (1990) scheme; (3) recode a version of the model for a highly parallel architecture; (4) determine effects of various parameterizations of islands, and; (5) determine the correct lateral boundary condition for boundary layer currents, as for instance the Gulf Stream, and other western boundary currents.

Book excerpt: For the Computer Hardware Advanced Mathematics and Model Physics (CHAMMP) project, developing a new multi-layer ocean model, based on the hydrodynamic FSU Indian Ocean model was proposed. The new model will include prognostic temperature and salinity and will be coded for massively parallel machines. Other specific objectives for the proposed research were: incorporate a oceanic mixed layer on top of the isopycnal deep layers; implement positive definite scheme for advection; determine effects of islands on large scale flow; and investigate lateral boundary conditions for boundary layer currents. The mixed layer model is proposed to be of a bulk type with prognostic equations for temperature and salinity. Development of parallel code will be done in cooperation with other CHAMMP participants, mainly the ocean modelling group at LANL. The main objective is model development, while the application is to determine the influence and parameterization of narrow flows along continents and through chains of small islands on the large scale oceanic circulation. Test runs with artificial wind stress and heat flux will be used to determine model stability, performance and optimization for the new model configuration. Tests will include western boundary currents, coastal upwelling and equatorial dynamics. This report discusses project progress for period January 1, 1993 through December 31, 1993.

Book excerpt: For the CHAMMP project, we proposed to implement and test new numerical schemes, parameterizations of boundary layer flow and development and implement mixed layer physics in an existing isopycnal models. The objectives for the proposed research were; implement the Arakawa and Hsu, scheme in an existing isopycnal model of the Indian Ocean; recode the new model for a highly parallel architecture; determine effects of various parameterizations of islands; determine the correct lateral boundary condition for boundary layer currents, as for instance the Gulf Stream and other western boundary currents.; and incorporate a oceanic mixed layer on top of the isopycnal deep layers. This is, primarily a model development project, with emphasis on determining the influence and parameterization of narrow flows along continents and through chains of small islands on the large scale oceanic circulation, which is resolved by climate models. The new model is based on the multi-layer FSU Indian Ocean model. Our research strategy is to; recode a one-layer version of the Indian Ocean Model for a highly parallel computer; add thermodynamics to a rectangular domain version of the new model; implement the irregular domain from the Indian Ocean Model into the box model; change the numerical scheme for the continuity equation to the scheme proposed by; perform parameterization experiments with various coast line and island geometries. This report discusses project progress for period August 1, 1992 through December 31, 1992.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The realism of large scale numerical ocean models has improved dra matically in recent years, in part because modern computers permit a more faithful representation of the differential equations by their algebraic analogs. Equally significant, if not more so, has been the improved under standing of physical processes on space and time scales smaller than those that can be represented in such models. Today, some of the most challeng ing issues remaining in ocean modeling are associated with parameterizing the effects of these high-frequency, small-space scale processes. Accurate parameterizations are especially needed in long term integrations of coarse resolution ocean models that are designed to understand the ocean vari ability within the climate system on seasonal to decadal time scales. Traditionally, parameterizations of subgrid-scale, high-frequency mo tions in ocean modeling have been based on simple formulations, such as the Reynolds decomposition with constant diffusivity values. Until recently, modelers were concerned with first order issues such as a correct represen tation of the basic features of the ocean circulation. As the numerical simu lations become better and less dependent on the discretization choices, the focus is turning to the physics of the needed parameterizations and their numerical implementation. At the present time, the success of any large scale numerical simulation is directly dependent upon the choices that are made for the parameterization of various subgrid processes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two dozen studies from an April-May 1998 conference in Tallinn, Estonia that were carefully commissioned to provide a snapshot of the state of knowledge about the flow of fresh water from Arctic Ocean as of that weekend, one paper even being written afterward to cover for a presentation that was not ready for publication. Meteorologists, hydrologists, oceanographers, and sea-ice specialists explore such aspects as oceanic freshwater fluxes in the climate system, atmospheric components of the Arctic Ocean freshwater balance and their interannual variability, atmospheric components of the hydrologic budget assessed from Rawinsonde data, moisture transport to the drainage basins relating to significant precipitation events and cyclogenesis, the dynamics of river water inflow, a positive-negative estuarine couple, tracer studies, exchanges of freshwater through the shallow straits of the North American Arctic, modeling the variability of exchanges between the Arctic Ocean and the Nordic seas, and the cycle of fresh water freezing and melting.

Download or read book Small Scale Turbulence and Mixing in the Ocean written by J.C.J. Nihoul and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1988-05-01 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the proceedings of the 19th International Liège Colloquium on Ocean Hydrodynamics, the programme of which focused on the relationships between small-scale mixing and large-scale features, transports and processes. The presentation of papers on various methods of parameterization of small-scale turbulent mixing for numerical ocean models was particularly encouraged and this resulted in more than a third of the papers presented at the Colloquium dealing in one way or another with the parameterization problems; many of these papers demonstrate the direct results of modelling. These proportions are well reflected in this volume of proceedings and thus emphasize once more the importance of small-scale turbulence research for such vital practical applications as ocean modelling and forecasting.
