| Zusammenfassung |
| A set of numerical experiments is presented,
in which we study the dynamics of passive particles advected by given
two-dimensional velocity fields and perturbed by a non-white noise with a
characteristic time τ. Data and model results have shown that this
kind of random perturbation is able to represent subgridscale processes for
upper ocean mesoscale turbulence for regions of the world ocean where turbulence
can be assumed to be homogeneous. Extensive computations in different fields
characterized by cell-like structure, both stationary and time-dependent,
representing very idealized geophysical flow situations, show that the presence
of a finite correlation time scale does lead to enhanced or arrested dispersion,
depending on the considered flow; however, it does not seem to affect the gross
qualitative behaviour of the dispersion processes, which is primarily affected
by the large-scale velocity field. |
