Wave Breaking and Ocean Surface Layer Thermal Response
TLDR
In this paper, the effect of breaking waves on ocean surface temperatures and surface boundary layer deepening is investigated, and the modification of the Mellor-Yamada turbulence closure model by Craig and Banner and others to include surface wave breaking energetics reduces summertime surface temperatures when the surface layer is relatively shallow.Abstract:
The effect of breaking waves on ocean surface temperatures and surface boundary layer deepening is investigated. The modification of the Mellor‐Yamada turbulence closure model by Craig and Banner and others to include surface wave breaking energetics reduces summertime surface temperatures when the surface layer is relatively shallow. The effect of the Charnock constant in the relevant drag coefficient relation is also studied.read more

TL;DR: A new version of the general circulation model CNRM-CM has been developed jointly by CNRMs-GAME (Centre National de Recherches Meteorologiques-Groupe d'etudes de l’Atmosphere Meteorologique) and Cerfacs as discussed by the authors in order to contribute to phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5).
NEMO ocean engine
TL;DR: The ocean engine of NEMO (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean) is a primitive equation model adapted to regional and global ocean circulation problems as discussed by the authors, which is intended to be a flexible tool for studying the ocean and its interactions with the others components of the earth climate system over a wide range of space and time scales.

Boundary layer theory
TL;DR: The flow laws of the actual flows at high Reynolds numbers differ considerably from those of the laminar flows treated in the preceding part, denoted as turbulence as discussed by the authors, and the actual flow is very different from that of the Poiseuille flow.

A Hierarchy of Turbulence Closure Models for Planetary Boundary Layers.
George L. Mellor,Tetsuji Yamada +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider simplification based on the observation that the parameters governing the degree of anisotropy are small, and propose a simplification approach for the problem of a planetary boundary layer subject to a diurnally varying surface heat flux or surface temperature.

Review of Drag Coefficients over Oceans and Continents
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of wind stress and wind profiles over the ocean reported in the literature over the past 10 years are consistent with Charnock's (1955) relation between aerodynamic roughness length (z0) and friction velocity (u*), viz, z0= αu*2/g, with α= 0.41±0.0144 and g= 9.81 m s−2.
