A New Hybrid Mass‐Flux/High‐Order Turbulence Closure for Ocean Vertical Mixing

Abstract While various parameterizations of vertical turbulent fluxes at different levels of complexity have been proposed, each has its own limitations. For example, simple first‐order closure schemes such as the K‐Profile Parameterization (KPP) lack energetic constraints; two‐equation models like...
