The GFDL Global Ocean and Sea Ice Model OM4.0: Model Description and Simulation Features (2019, background): “All these aspects of the internal tide‐driven mixing followed the implementation of Melet et al. (2012).”
Challenges and Prospects in Ocean Circulation Models (2019, methodology): “A series of investigations using the GFDL-ESM2G coupled climate model explore the impact of different components of internal wave driven mixing, including the vertical structure of the local dissipation of the internal tide (Melet et al., 2013), the inclusion of breaking lee-waves due to geostrophic”
Turning Ocean Mixing Upside Down (2015, unknown): “More recent models that use a k proﬁle that increases toward the ocean bottom (e.g., Simmons et al. 2004; Saenko and Merryﬁeld 2005; Melet et al. 2012, 2015) may reproduce the right ﬂow structure as long as the bottom increase in k overwhelms the bottom decrease in stratiﬁcation.”
