Reconfiguration of Webb-style Gliders for Routine Turbulence Measurements
Abstract
The long-term goal of this program is to understand the physics of small-scale oceanic processes including internal waves, hydraulics, turbulence and microstructure that act to perturb and control the circulation in coastal oceans and, in doing so, affect the propagation of sound and light. Ongoing studies within the Ocean Mixing Group at OSU emphasize observations, interaction with turbulence modelers and an aggressive program of sensor / instrumentation development and integration. This includes extending measurements to new platforms such as gliders so that we can make continued measurements where ships cannot go (or when they cannot be there, such as during periods of extreme surface forcing).
