Ocean Mixing

Abstract

The work done under this grant falls under six broad categories, all linked by the common theme of understanding the role small-scale fluid dynamics in the ocean plays in creating turbulence and mixing and thereby influencing the larger scale oceanic flows. This grant funded a series of short experiments over Oregon's continental shelf. The six broad categories include the analysis and theoretical developments that have ensued as well as engineering technical development in aid of seagoing observations.
