Structured and Inhibited Mixing on the Continental Shelf
Abstract
A goal is to understand diapycnal mixing process during the stratified summer season in the temperate continental shelf environment. This understanding is required to correctly account for the effects of mixing in coastal ocean models. These effects influence modeled (and actual) density fields, and thus flows, as well as modeled and actual distributions of dissolved and suspended material.
