Using Dye to Study Lateral Mixing in the Ocean: 100 m to 1 km

Abstract

The long-term goals of this research are to understand submesoscale processes causing horizontal dispersion of momentum and scalar quantities. We are interested in these processes in the open ocean as well as their role in mixing the coastal ocean.
