Turbulent mixing in the Red Sea outflow plume from a high-resolution nonhydrostatic model
|
ABSTRACT
Given the motivation that overflow processes, which supply source waters for most of the deep and intermediate water masses in the ocean, pose significant numerical and dynamical challenges for ocean general circulation models, an intercomparison study is conducted between field d
ata collected in the Red Sea overflow and a high-resolution, nonhydrostatic process model. The investigation is focused on the part of the outflow that flows along a long narrow channel, referred to as the "northern channel," that naturally restricts motion in the lateral direction such that the use of a ...
