•KPP Procedure (part
1):
–Apply surface
thermodynamical and momentum flux forcing
–Calculate K profiles
for interior diapycnal mixing from surface to bottom
–Diagnose turbulent
boundary layer thickness
•Minimum depth H where
a bulk Richardson number exceeds critical value
•Turbulent boundary
layer eddies can penetrate to depth H where the fluid becomes stable relative to local buoyancy and
velocity
