New Study Shows that Oceanic Lee-Waves Make an Impact on Large-Scale Circulation and Climate -- Indicating the Importance of Including this Process in Climate Models
Description: A new paper explores the combined effects of internal tide- and lee wave-driven mixing on the ocean state. This is the first time the effect of oceanic lee-waves has been parameterized in a climate model. The results show that lee-waves make an impact on the large-scale circulation and climate, indicating the importance of including this process in climate models. [Source: Princeton University]
