Assessing the Effects of Submesoscale Parameterizations: Progress Report

Abstract

Our long-term goal is to understand how energy is supplied to the ocean, and how it subsequently cascades to the turbulence and mixing important to the circulation, and the transport and distribution of tracers. This problem involves scales spanning subinertial motions to turbulence, and therefore requires integrative efforts with other sea-going investigators and numerical modelers. AESOP was an excellent opportunity to collect a data set in the coastal environment to test our understanding of the cascade.
