Comprehensive Environmental Measurements from Autonomous Profiling Floats

Abstract

The PI attended three ONR workshops to discuss and help define the future integrated observational program for the Quantifying, Predicting and Exploiting Uncertainty (QPEU), more specifically to help formulate an experiment to study the Kuroshio intrusion, nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs), internal tides, inertial waves, and turbulence mixing resulting from the Kuroshio-topography interaction. The resulting plan is briefly discussed.
