A primer on ocean mesoscale eddy parameterizations for numerical models
Appears in collection : 2026 - T2 - WS2 - Instabilities and transitions in geophysical flows
This talk summarizes some ongoing math/physics/numerics questions related to tracer mixing and stirring as realized in ocean models, moving from the small-scale turbulence to the large-scale mesoscale eddy stirring. The presentation will be pedagogical in style, and it touches only a few topics with an aim to engage both students and researchers.
