Remote Sensing of Temperature and Salinity Microstructure in Rivers and Estuaries Using Broadband Acoustic Scattering Techniques
Abstract
To measure and understand high-frequency broadband acoustic scattering in rivers and estuaries characterized by strong temperature and salinity gradients and intermittent and often high plankton and particle concentrations and dissipation rates of turbulent kinetic energy. To use these measurements and understanding to develop a remote sensing tool for quantifying the structure of stratified turbulence.
