Presentation Transcript

  1. Moum • Small-Scale Ocean Physics • fluid dynamics at scales that are not • resolved by circulation models • millimeters to O(100 m) to kilometers hydraulic flows over topographic obstacles large amplitude, nonlinear internal waves

  2. Moum • Small-Scale Ocean Physics • dynamics of stratified turbulence • effects of turbulence (drag, mixing) • instability mechanisms causing turbulence • internal gravity waves • internal solitary waves • near-inertial waves • topographic effects – hydraulically-controlled flows • sheared flows – coastal jets, equatorial undercurrents http://mixing.coas.oregonstate.edu

  3. Moum • Small-Scale Ocean Physics • How we study Small-Scale Ocean Physics • 1st and foremost get the best observations possible • development of new instrumentation • adaptation of instrumentation to broaden our observational perspective • develop simple physical models • important links to small-scale/turbulence modeling http://mixing.coas.oregonstate.edu
