Analysis of Mixing and Dynamics Associated with the Dissolution of Hurricane-Induced Cold Wakes

Abstract

The main objective of the research was to provide scientists with a clearer understanding of the relative importance of thephysical mechanisms involved in the recovery of the ocean from a cold wake formation, and to provide additional value andinsight to the observations already being undertaken by the ITOP program. This was performed by one-dimensional and three-dimensional modeling of the region before, during, and after Typhoon Fanapi.
