Abstract:

The primary focus of this research is to use computer simulations as a useful research tool to understand the mechanisms of the interactions among Langmuir cells, waves, and currents. This project is intended to be a modeling component of the over Langmuir Cell DRI. Our ultimate goal is to advance our understanding of and establish an efficacious modeling capability for upper ocean boundary layer OBL processes to serve for Navy applications.
