The spectral models of Garrett and Munk (1972, 1975) continue to be a useful description of the oceanic energy spectrum. However, there are several ambiguities (many of them are summarized, for example, in Levine, 2002) that make it difficult to use e.g., in a dissipation modeling (e.g., Hibiya et al., 1996, and Winters and D'Asaro, 1997). An approximate spectral formulation is presented in this work by means of the modified Running Median Methods.
