Evolution of Turbulence, Heat Content, and Freshwater Lenses in the Diurnal Warm Layer

Creator:

Moulin, Aurélie J.

Abstract:

Thorough understanding of the mechanisms controlling the temperature structure in the surface mixed layer of the ocean and, in particular, accurate values of sea surface temperature are critical for properly parameterizing air-sea heat exchange and quantifying the amount of heat redistributed below the surface. It is however difficult to obtain...

Development, performance evaluation and application of a physical model of the Kenyan-Tanzanian coastal region

Creator:

Mayorga Adame, Claudia Gabriela

Abstract:

A Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) application for the coastal region of Kenya and Tanzania (0-10° S, 38.7-46.98° E) was developed with the aim of better resolving the circulation patterns in the coastal region that is poorly represented in global models. The model has a horizontal resolution of 4 km,...
