The 1D model is a first attempt at studying sub-grid scale parameterizations in the region. It was used to test the effects of the k-e turbulence closure scheme on the simulation of vertical mixing in the water column structure in the North Pacific and Southern Ocean, using the available scattered data as comparison. This analysis also gives indications for the choice of the grid’s vertical levels.enNucleus for the 8 European Modelling of the OceanNEMOSub-mesoscale parameterizationsTurbulence closure modelVertical mixingSouthern OceanAn assessment of the role of the k-e vertical mixing scheme in the simulation of Southern Ocean upper dynamicsConference PresentationBoodhraj, K., Vichi, M., & Smit, J.
