Abstract

Abstract

Four vertical mixing parameterization schemes,including M-Y2.0,M-Y2.5 based on wall layer proximity,M-Y2.5 based on surface wave breaking and KPP are applied to simulate the upper structure of temperature in the Yellow Sea in summer,using Princeton Ocean Model with generalized coordinate system(POMgcs) and MIT General Circulation Model(MITgcm). It shows that the depth of the upper mixed layer simulated by M-Y2.0 and M-Y2.5 based on wall layer proximity are both too shallow comparing with the observation. The two schemes mentioned above can hardly well simulate the summer structure of temperature in the Yellow Sea,while both the schemes of the M-Y2.5 based on surface wave breaking and KPP have favorable capability to reconstruct the summer upper mixing layer of temperature in the Yellow Sea. So we suggest that surface wave-induced mixing and flow shear modulate jointly the upper layer structure in the Yellow sea. The upper layer structure of temperature is able to be well simulated through utilizing the rational schemes of vertical mixing parameterization that can embody the effect of the physics processes mentioned above.
