APPENDIX B
YBJ Upper Boundary Condition
Beginning from (A3) with the choice C = 0, we can vertically integrate from ๐ง = โ๐ป to ๐ง = 0 and use ๐ = 0 at ๐ง = โ๐ป to arrive at
The no-normal flow condition is imposed by requiring โ๐ = 0 at ๐ง = 0 (Young and Ben Jelloul 1997), which eliminates the advection and dissipation terms. We then horizontally average (denoted by ยท) equation (B1). Because ๐(๐ฅ, ๐ฆ,0,๐ก) has no horizontal structure, it is equal to its horizontal average. On a horizontally periodic domain, all but two terms vanish in the averaged equation:
Because the forcing is horizontally uniform in all of our simulations, this reduces to (13). Note that subtracting (B2) from (B1) yields a condition on the integral of ๐ด:
