The effect on simulated ocean climate of a parameterization of unbroken wave-induced mixing incorporated into the k-epsilon mixing scheme

Abstract A new parameterization of mixing processes in the upper ocean is tested in a ¼° resolution global ocean climate model. The parameterization represents the effect of turbulent mixing by unbroken waves as an additional turbulent shear production term in the k‐epsilon mixing scheme. The result...
