Outline of Research at the Start |
Turbulent mixing plays an important role in the ocean because it considerably affects climate and ecosystems. However, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. This study focuses on the Kuroshio region where intense flow-topography interaction occurs. By combining numerical modeling and observations, we intend to clarify the mechanisms responsible for how the flow-topography interaction generates internal waves and mixing. The outcomes will provide essential implications on mixing parameterizations, which is beneficial to predicting the long-term variation of climate.
