Formulation and calibration of CATKE, a one-equation parameterization for microscale ocean mixing

Gregory LeClaire Wagner, Adeline Hillier, Navid C. Constantinou +7

We describe CATKE, a parameterization for fluxes associated with small-scale or "microscale" ocean turbulent mixing on scales between 1 and 100 meters. CATKE uses a downgradient fo…
