39 Some Basic Statistical Modeling Issues in Molecular and Ocean Dynamics p. 21/2 Parameterization of Small Scales One parameterization used in AOS and engineering (Gent and McWilliams 1990, Griffies 1998, Middleton and Loder 1989): F = K (x,t) T, with generally nonsymmetric K = S + A. Symmetric part S : variably enhanced diffusion Antisymmetric part A : effective drift U = A relative to mean flow

40 Some Basic Statistical Modeling Issues in Molecular and Ocean Dynamics p. 22/2 Parameterization Approaches Within the class of effective diffusivity or eddy diffusivity schemes, the way in which K is modeled differs. Some examples: Mixing-length theory: K lv. K ε theory: parameterize based on local energy and energy dissipation rate Gent-McWilliams: related to slope of surfaces of constant potential density These are empirical, with varying degrees of success. Ocean circulation models often employ even simpler practice of choosing K as constant multiple of identity, tuned a posteriori.

41 Some Basic Statistical Modeling Issues in Molecular and Ocean Dynamics p. 23/2 Homogenization-Based Parameterization Under assumption of scale separation (not so crazy for ocean), homogenization theory provides rigorous support and formula for effective diffusivity (Avellaneda, Majda, McLaughlin, Papanicolaou, Varadhan, Fannjiang, Pavliotis & K): where χ τ K (x,t) = κ (I v χ )) + (V + v) y χ κ y χ = v, is cell problem, solved on sub-grid scale with frozen mean flow V. denotes subgrid-scale average.

42 Some Basic Statistical Modeling Issues in Molecular and Ocean Dynamics p. 24/2 Computational Homogenization Heterogenous multiscale methods (HMM) natural, but perhaps too complex a modification to existing codes. More negotiable: parameterization formula for K based on statistical subgrid-scale model with small number of nondimensional parameters Our approach: build up from simple models, combine numerical solutions with new and existing asymptotic results (Avellaneda, Majda, Vergassola, Bonn, McLaughlin, Kesten, Papanicolaou, etc.)
