Following the work done by Reffrey, Calone and Bourdalle-Badie (2015) we implemented a one dimensional (1D) ocean physical model in the sub-Antarctic Southern Ocean using the Nucleus for the European Modelling of the Ocean(NEMO) model. The 1D model is a first attempt at studying sub-grid scale parameterizations in the region. It was used to test the effects of the k-e turbulence closure scheme on the simulation of vertical mixing in the water column structure in the North Pacific and Southern Ocean, using the available scattered data as comparison. This analysis also gives indications for the choice of the grid’s vertical levels.
