The impact of internal tide mixing parameterizations in an eddy-permitting model of the Arctic Ocean
In this study we consider the impact of enhanced ocean mixing due to the breaking of internal tides on model state in an eddy-permitting numerical model of the Arctic Ocean. We compare the impact of two enhanced tidal mixing parameterizations each with different vertical dissipation profiles based o...
