Refreshments will be served.\n\n\nAbstract\n\nIn recent years increased computing power has allowed large supercomputing centers to run global oce an general circulation models at horizontal resolutions of 1/12th degrees or even higher (the current record is 1/48th degrees).  At these resolutio ns\, if in addition tidal forcing is included alongside atmospheric forcin g\, an internal gravity wave spectrum begins to develop.  We show that the horizontal wavenumber-frequency spectrum fills out along predicted linear dispersion curves\, and we show that it fills out more completely as hori zontal resolution is increased.  The nonlinear spectral transfers of kinet ic energy also fill out along the dispersion curves\, and increase in vigo r with an increase in horizontal resolution.  Finally\, the comparison of modeled internal gravity wave frequency spectra with moored observations i mproves with increasing horizontal resolution.  We discuss the implication s of this work for understanding mixing in the ocean.\n DTSTART:20151109T203000Z DTEND:20151109T213000Z LOCATION:Room 934\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Seminar: Dr. Brian Arbic\, University of Michigan URL:/meteo/channels/event/seminar-dr-brian-arbic-unive rsity-michigan-256537 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
