Strategies for estimating turbulent fluxes in polar ocean boundary layers / Miles G. McPhee.
Title: | Strategies for estimating turbulent fluxes in polar ocean boundary layers / Miles G. McPhee. |
Author(s): | McPhee, Miles G. |
Date: | 1992. |
Publisher: | Boston, MA: American Meteorological Society |
In: | Third Conference Polar Meteorology and Oceanography, 29 Sept-2 Oct 1992, Portland, Oregon. (1992.), |
Abstract: | Describes two methods for indirect estimation of ice--ocean stress and heat flux from unmanned ice buoys, from direct flux measurements made in under-ice boundary layer. First infers interfacial stress from variance of horizontal velocity, using freezing constraint at ice--ocean interface to express heat flux as proportional to product of friction velocity and difference between mixed-layer temperature and freezing temperature. Second applies inertial-dissipation method using vertical velocity and temperature spectra. Mentions advantages of latter method. |
