A new multi-scale modeling technique, SOMAR-LES, is presented in this paper. Localized grid refinement gives SOMAR (the Stratified Ocean Model with Adaptive Resolution) access to small scales of the flow which are normally inaccessible to general circulation models (GCMs). SOMAR-LES drives a LES (Large Eddy Simulation) on SOMAR’s finest grids, forced with large scale forcing from the coarser grids...
Topographic features with steep, supercritical slope on the ocean bottom are sites of large energy conversion from the oscillating tide to internal waves according to linear theory. At the same time, they are also sites with potentially large local energy loss as is suggested by nonlinear waves and overturns found in field observations and two-dimensional simulations. Here, we investigate the internal...
