| Abstract | : | Breaking internal waves in the vicinity of topography can reach heights of over 100 m and are thought to enhance basin-wide energy dissipation and mixing in the ocean. The scales at which these waves are modelled often include the breaking of large waves (10 s of meters), but not the turbulence dissipation scales (centimeters). Previous approaches to parameterize the turbulence have been to use a universally large viscosity, or to use mixing schemes that rely on Richardson-number criteria. |
