SUMMARY:Climatic Reach of small-scale Ocean Turbulence - Ali Mashayek (Uni
 versity of Cambridge)

CONTACT:Dr Michael Haigh
DESCRIPTION:Small-scale turbulent mixing in the ocean interior is believed
  to play an important role in the ocean circulation and the tracer distrib
 utions within. However\, the extent to which the fluid dynamical subtletie
 s of mixing impact the climate system\, remains poorly quantified. Buildin
 g on a number of case studies\, in this talk\, I will argue that on annual
  to millennial timescales\, small-scale mixing is of leading-order importa
 nce for the ocean meridional overturning circulation (MOC)\, its internal 
 variability\, and tracer budgets such as that of heat and carbon. I will a
 rgue that the ability to adequately represent such mixing is absent in Ear
 th System Models (ESMs) and provide some perspectives on how progress may 
 be made.
