Mixed Layer Mesoscales for OGCMs: Model development and assessment with T/P, WOCE and Drifter data

V. M. Canuto, M. S. Dubovikov, A. Leboissetier

We present a model for mixed layer (ML) mesoscale (M) fluxes of an arbitrary tracer in terms of the resolved fields (mean tracer and mean velocity). The treatment of an arbitrary t…
