Study of Kuroshio Intrusion and Transport Using Moorings, HPIES and EM-APEX Floats
Abstract
Our long-term scientific goals are to understand the dynamics and identify mechanisms of small-scale processes--i.e., internal tides, inertial waves, NLIWs, and turbulence mixing--in the ocean and thereby help develop improved parameterizations of mixing for ocean models. Mixing within the stratified ocean is a particular focus as the complex interplay of internal waves from a variety of sources and turbulence makes this a current locus of uncertainty.
