Experiments on the Physics of Turbulent Mixing in Stably Stratified Ocean Layers

Abstract

Our research goals are to understand, quantify, and parameterize mixing processes in stably stratified fluids. The research is intended to provide a sound scientific basis for making accurate quantitative estimates of ocean mixing from limited observations at sea.
