AASERT: Measurements of Wave Breaking and Dissipation Over the Continental Shelf

Abstract

The objectives of this project were to develop and use remote in situ techniques to measure the kinematics and dynamics of breaking waves and relate them to the dynamics of the wavefield and the surface mixed layer. Of particular interest has been the dissipation of surface wave energy by breaking.
