The physical oceanography of the transport of floating marine debris (2020, methodology): “On the other hand, Langmuir circulation and turbulence are not commonly included explicitly in regional or global ocean models, although recent software developments in GOTM (Umlauf and Burchard 2003) and CVMix (Griffies et al 2015) may make using parameterisations of Langmuir turbulence easier (Li ”

A Note on Two-Equation Closure Modelling of Canopy Flow (2009, background): “During the last two decades, models using two-equation closure have attracted great attention in the geophysical modelling community and a number of authors have found it is sufficient for most practical tasks (Wang and Takle 1995; Umlauf and Burchard 2003; Castro et al. 2003; Hipsey et al. 2004; ”

Seamless cross-scale modeling with SCHISM (2016, neutral): “…in [m 2 s −1 ] κ vertical eddy diffusivity, for tracers, in [m 2 s −1 ] F h horizontal diffusion and mass sources/sinks The differential system ( 1 –4 ) is closed with turbulence closure of the generic length-scale model of Umlauf and Burchard (2003) , and proper initial and boundary conditions…”

Ocean forecasting in terrain-following coordinates: Formulation and skill assessment of the Regional Ocean Modeling System (2008, methodology): “Finally, the Generic Length Scale (GLS) approach [11] is a generalized two-equation model that takes advantage of the similarities among several two-equation turbulence closure models that have been used for turbulence modeling.”
SELFE: A semi-implicit Eulerian–Lagrangian finite-element model for cross-scale ocean circulation (2008, methodology): “SELFE uses the Generic Length Scale (GLS) turbulence closure of Umlauf and Burchard (2003), which has the advantage of encompassing most of the 2.5-equation closure models (k–e(Rodi, 1984); k–x (Wilcox, 1998); Mellor and Yamada, 1982).”
