Abstract

In the following we will take into account nonlinear and nonstationary terms in the equations for momentum balance, temperature and salinity with. Moreover the simplified version (in terms of molecular mixing and diffusion) of horizontal and vertical turbulence will be considered. The models are different with respect to

  • the method of calculation of the pressure anomaly (usually via sea surface height ζ or mass transport function Ψ),

  • the numerical method of solution

Simplifications concern:

  • the comparison with linear models of Chapter 2,

  • the description of turbulent viscosity and/or diffusivity.
