Ocean Dynamics: Vietnam DRI

Abstract

LONG-TERM GOALS: To gain a more complete understanding of ocean dynamical processes, particularly at finescale, through comparison of high, mid- and low-latitude observations, near the sea surface, in the main thermocline, and near the sea floor. OBJECTIVES: To identify the phenomena involved in the cascade of energy from meso-scales to turbulent scales. In particular, we wish to quantify the relationship between fine-scale background conditions and the occurrence of microscale breaking.
