Postdoctoral Fellowship: OCE-PRF: A Parameterization of Tidal and Equatorial Internal Wave — NSF Award to University of California
Underwater mixing plays a critical role in regulating Earth’s climate by distributing heat, nutrients, and dissolved gases throughout the ocean. This mixing is largely driven by the breaking of internal waves, which are generated by wind and tides. However, many ocean models cannot resolve the wave breaking that drives

| Abstract | Underwater mixing plays a critical role in regulating Earth’s climate by distributing heat, nutrients, and dissolved gases throughout the ocean. This mixing is largely driven by the breaking of internal waves, which are generated by wind and tides. However, many ocean models cannot resolve the wave breaking that drives mixing and must instead rely on simplified representations called parameterizations. One such model is the Generalized Finescale Parameterization (GFP), which infers mixing rates |
