Analysis of Mixing and Dynamics Associated with the Dissolution of Hurricane-Induced Cold Wakes

Abstract

The main objective of the research is to provide scientists with a clearer understanding of the relative importance of the physical mechanisms involved in the recovery of the ocean from a cold wake formation, and to provide additional value and insight to the observations already being undertaken by the ITOP program.
