| Abstract | A finite difference scheme is employed to solve the integral form of the momentum, continuity and heat equations, for a two layer ocean bounded by a coastline. The momentum equations include the turbulent dynamics and the time-dependent and nonlinear terms in both the cross-shelf and alongshelf directions. The system of equations is closed using a parameterization for the entrainment velocity proposed by Niiler and Kraus (1977), which has both the wind-stirring (Kraus and Turner, 1967) and the shear-mixing (Pollard, Rhines and Thompson, 1973) mechanisms. |
