Title: Mixed-Layer Parameterizations in Models of the Indian Ocean Circulation,
Abstract: Abstract : The primary objective of this research is to implement and test improved mixed layer parameterizations in a layered numerical model of the Indian Ocean circulation. This will allow inclusion of thermodynamic forcing as well as wind stress forcing of the model circulation in order to understand the variability and complicated mixed-layer physics observed in the real Indian Ocean and to develop an optimum formulation for mixed layer physics in layered ocean models. Although these efforts are focused on the Indian Ocean, the formulation developed here can be extended to other areas of the world ocean. (SEE OBJECTIVES UNDER RESEARCH ABSTRACT ON PG 2. AN)
