Improving simulations of the upper ocean by inclusion of surface waves in the Mellor-Yamada turbulence scheme

The Mellor‐Yamada turbulence closure scheme, used in many ocean circulation models, is often blamed for overly high simulated surface temperature and overly low simulated subsurface temperature in summer due to insufficient vertical mixing. Surface waves can enhance turbulence kinetic energy and mix...
