Stratification at Ocean Fronts, Student Support

Abstract

This project supported the doctoral research of Ms Laura Crews, who focused on atmosphere-ice-ocean interaction using observations collected as part of the ONR Stratified Ocean Dynamics of the Arctic (SODA) DRI. The dissertation is composed of three distinct studies. The first explores the impact of sea ice melt water on timing and small-scale lateral structure of sea ice freeze-up, demonstrating that the advected melt waters can accelerate freeze-up. The second study explores the impact of large lead systems on the generation of near-inertial oscillations in the upper ocean , while the third explores the role of sea ice in modulating radiation of near-inertial energy out of the mixed layer.
