Lateral Mixing
Abstract
Our long-term goal is to understand how energy is supplied to the ocean, and how it subsequently cascades to the turbulence and mixing important to the circulation, and the transport and distribution of tracers. This problem involves scales spanning sub-inertial motions to turbulence, and therefore requires integrative efforts with other sea-going investigators and numerical modelers. The Lateral Mixing Experiment project was an ideal opportunity to investigate the cascade from mesoscale processes to the submesoscale.
