Wave-Modified Ekman Current Solutions for the Time-Dependent Vertical Eddy Viscosity

Wave-Modified Ekman Current Solutions for the Time-Dependent Vertical Eddy Viscosity

This study aimed to highlight a general lack of clarity regarding the scale of the temporal averaging implicit in Ekman-type models. Under the assumption of time and depth-dependent eddy viscosity, we present an analytical Fourier series solution for a wave-modified Ekman model. The depth dependence...
