Abstract
Abstract : To understand and parameterize interior and near-boundary mixing processes. To understand the dynamical processes occurring in the surface layer of the ocean and parameterize them in ocean models. To understand the physical oceanography of semi-enclosed seas. A current objective is to exploit Juan de Fuca Strait as a natural laboratory for the study of rotating stratified shear flows with sloping lateral boundaries. In particular I would like to understand and quantify vertical and lateral momentum transfer, the causes and role of cross-strait secondary circulation, and the comparative importance, magnitude and parameterization of internal and near boundary mixing. In the surface mixed layer I would like to understand and parameterize the effects of processes currently omitted from models. For semi-enclosed seas I seek the key physics that controls the overall behavior.
