Profiling Dissipation Measurements Using Chipods on Moored Profilers in Luzon Strait
Abstract
The long-term goal of this program is to understand the physics of small-scale oceanic processes and how they affect the larger scales of ocean circulation. Ongoing studies within the Ocean Mixing Group at OSU emphasize observations, interaction with turbulence modelers and an aggressive program of sensor/instrumentation development and integration. The principal objectives of this project are to: quantify the energy losses to turbulence dissipation in the Luzon Strait in a systematic, comprehensive and extended way; quantify the spring-neap variation in these energy losses; obtain meaningful, long-term observations of the turbulent heat and momentum flux profiles in Luzon Strait, from which useful parameterizations can be derived.
