Parameterization of Submesoscale Symmetric Instability in Dense Flows Along Topography

Parameterization of Submesoscale Symmetric Instability in Dense Flows Along Topography

Abstract We develop a parameterization for representing the effects of submesoscale symmetric instability (SI) in the ocean interior. SI may contribute to water mass modification and mesoscale energy dissipation in flow systems throughout the World Ocean. Dense gravity currents forced by surface buo...
