Lateral Mixing DRI Analysis: Submesoscale, Fine- and Microstructure Surveys of Internal Waves, Turbulence and Water-Mass Variability

Abstract

My main interest is in small scale ocean physics as it contributes to stirring and mixing in order to understand and better parameterize its impact on larger scales. Processes of interest include phenomena ranging from the microscale (1 cm) up to the mesoscale (10-100 km) including near inertia land internal tides, vortical mode, fronts, turbulence production and salt fingers.
