•Mixing Schemes
–K-Profile
Parameterization
–Kraus-Turner Mixed
Layer Model
•Two Kraus-Turner mixed
layer models available for hybrid coordinates
•A third Kraus-Turner model is available when HYCOM is run in MICOM mode
–Handles detrainment of
water into isopycnic layers
–Same algorithm used in
MICOM 2.8
•With
hybrid coordinates, choice of explicit (MICOM-like) or implicit (KPP-like) interior diapycnal mixing
