Application of Symmetric Instability Parameterization in the Coastal and Regional Ocean Community Model (CROCO)

Abstract As one kind of submesoscale instability, symmetric instability (SI) of the ocean surface mixed layer (SML) plays a significant role in modulating the SML energetics and material transport. The small spatial scales of SI, O(10 m–1 km), are not resolved by current climate ocean models and mos...
