About this document

Oceanic Boundary Layer Turbulence by Nihar Paul is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This chapter discusses turbulence in ocean boundary layers. It introduces the two main boundary layers - the upper ocean boundary layer near the sea surface, and the benthic or bottom boundary layer. Turbulence in these layers is driven by fluxes of buoyancy and momentum at the boundaries. There are three main types of boundary layers based on whether stress or buoyancy fluxes dominate: (1) layers driven by convection due to unstable stratification, (2) layers driven by stress with no buoyancy flux, and (3)
