Coastal Mixing and Optics Moored Array
Abstract
Our long-term goal is to identify and understand the dominant vertical mixing processes influencing the evolution of the stratification over continental shelves. We want to understand the dynamics of the surface and bottom boundary layers over continental shelves and how the boundary layers contribute to mixing and the evolution of the stratification. We are particularly interested in the relative contributions of local, one-dimensional mixing processes, such as wind forced mixing, cooling, and tidal mixing versus three-dimensional advective effects.
