Mesoscale patterning effect

Continuous underway sampling using a deep-towed pump and a hose-cable can examine chemical patterns in the ocean that are nearly impossible to describe by other techniques. Growing realization of the importance of mesoscale features and oceanic fronts makes use of such sampling tools an essential part of oceanography. Effective data management must be an indispensable part of any deep-towed sampling system. 

Abstract In this chapter, the mesoscale computational methodology. Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM), is introduced for the simulation of the interfacial Marangoni and Rayleigh elfects as described and discussed in Chap. 8. The fundamentals of LBM are briefly introduced and discussed. By the simulation using the LBM, some mechanisms and phenomena of the interfacial effect are studied, including the patterns of the interfacial disturbance for inducing the interfacial convections, conditions of initiating interfacial instability and interfacial convection as well as the effect on interfacial mass transfer.
