| A
test of the KPP mixing algorithm |
|||||||||
| was
performed by determining if an |
|||||||||
| Ekman
spiral was produced by |
|||||||||
| quasi-steady
surface momentum flux |
|||||||||
| forcing.
A special run was performed |
|||||||||
| with
30 vertical layers. Proceeding |
|||||||||
| downward,
the minimum layer |
|||||||||
| thickness
was 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, … m. |
|||||||||
| During
winter at a model grid point |
|||||||||
| within
the North Atlantic Trade |
|||||||||
| Winds
(near 15N), a reasonable |
|||||||||
| Ekman
spiral was present in the |
|||||||||
| upper 50 m. |
