Terms of Reference
-
Summarize past results, including analyses of historical field data, concerning the sources for, and geographical distribution of, mixing in the deep-ocean basins. In light of recent results, tidally driven mixing mechanisms will be emphasized. -
Assess, within the established observational and theoretical context, those difficulties involved with parameterization of mixing in numerical ocean GCMs. -
Assess what more should be done by further observational programs or improved observational techniques to fill gaps in understanding essential to provide useful information for modeling the effects of deep-ocean mixing, including the potential to detect deep-ocean mixing through remote sensing and tracer techniques. -
Produce a comprehensive, published final report incorporating appropriate results from the above topics.
Meetings:
