Ocean Modeling and Parameterization

The realism of large scale numerical ocean models has improved dramatically in recent years, in part because modern computers permit a more faithful representation of the differential equations by their algebraic analogs. Equally significant, if not more so, has been the improved understanding of physical processes on space and time scales smaller than those that can be represented in such models. Today, some of the most challeng­ ing issues remaining in ocean modeling are associated with p...
