Internal Wave Theory Internal wave generation criteria according to linear theory –  - slope of internal wave rays  =1 – critical –Most generation –resonant  < 1 – subcritical –Less generation –Propagates both on and offslope  > 1 – supercritical –Less generation –Propagates offslope

Vertical Mixing Parameterizations Large-McWilliams-Doney (LMD) Kp profile Mellor-Yamada 2.5 level turbulence closure (MY2.5) Brunt-Väisälä frequency (BVF) Pacanowski-Philander (PP) Generic Length Scale (GLS) Lamont Ocean Atmosphere Mixed Layer Model (LOAM ) LMD - modified

Large-McWilliams-Doney Kp profile Primary processes –Local R i instabilities due to resolvable vertical shear If (1-Ri/0.7) > (1-Ri/0.7) 3 –Convection N dependent 0.1 * [1.-(2x10 -5 –N 2 )/2x10 -5 ] –Internal wave N dependent /N 2 (min N of ) –Double diffusion Only for tracers For R i < 0.8, the first dominates For R i > 0.8, the third dominates Modified –Non-local fluxes, Langmuir, Stokes drift –Changes two of the Kp profile values

Mellor-Yamada 2.5 level turbulence closure Designed for boundary layer flows Based on turbulent kinetic energy and length scale which are time stepped through the simulation Matched laboratory turbulence Logarithmic law of the wall Not designed for internal wave mixing Fails in the presence of stratification

Brunt-Väisälä frequency Diffusivity is a function of N –If N < 0 Kv = 1 –If N = 0 Kv = background value –If N > 0 Kv = /N Min of 3x10 -5 Max of 4x10 -4 –Background values is input (10 -6 )

Pacanowski-Philander Designed for the tropics Gradient Ri dependent –If Ri >.2 Kv = 0.01/(1-5Ri) 2 +background max = 0.01 –Otherwise Kv = 0.01 LOAM – version modified for use outside the tropics –If Ri >.2 Kv = 0.05/(1-5Ri) 2 +background max = 0.05 –Otherwise Kv = background

Generic Length Scale Two generic equations –D - turbulent and viscous transport –P - KE production by shear –G - KE production by buoyancy –  - Dissipation –c - model constants Based on turbulent kinetic energy and length scale which are time stepped through the simulation MY2.5 is a special case –p=0, m=1, n=1

Summary Baroclinic tides were simulated using ROMS Semidiurnal tides were reproduced successfully Diurnal tides were not reproduced –Critical latitude effects –Mean currents insufficiently simulated Generic Length Scale (GLS) produced the most realistic vertical diffusivities Acknowledgments – Data from Brink, Toole, Kunze, Noble, and Eriksen

Model Description Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS)  Primitive equation model; non-linear  Split 2-D and 3-D modes  Boussinesq and hydrostatic approximations  Horizontal advection - 3 rd order upstream differencing [McWilliams and Shchepetkin]  Explicit vertical advection  Laplacian lateral diffusion along sigma surfaces (1 m 2 s -1 )  LMD scheme for vertical mixing  Exact baroclinic pressure gradient  Density based on bulk modulus  Tidal Forcing – M 2, S 2, O 1, and K 1  Elevations - set at boundaries  2-D velocities – radiation [Flather]  3-D velocities – flow relaxation scheme  tracers – flow relaxation scheme  Time Step - 4 s barotropic, 120 s baroclinc mode  Simulation Duration: 30 days

Hydrography

Evaluation of Operational Considerations and Parameterizations  Horizontal Resolution:  Improving resolution improves agreement  1 km shows best agreement  Vertical Resolution:  No. of Levels:  Doubling the number of levels from 30 to 60 slightly improved the agreement  Increasing the number of levels to 90, showed no improvement  Spacing:  Uneven spacing with more levels near the surface and bottom improves agreement with observations  Best match - shallow mixed layer,  S = 2, and  B =.5  Bathymetry:  Improvement with the finer scale Eriksen bathymetry  Increased generation of internal tides on a small scale  Hydrography:  Improvement with the finer scale Kunze hydrography  Baroclinic Pressure Gradient:  Weighted Density Jacobian performed more poorly than Spline Density Jacobian  Vertical Mixing:  GLS showed the best agreement  Horizontal Mixing: No appreciable effect
