A Chiometer for Towed Bodies and a New Winch for SWIMS3
Abstract
Our goal is to understand mixing in shallow water, i.e., the upper 500 to 1000 m, by observing it in relation to the larger-scale processes producing it. Regimes of interest include open-ocean fronts, continental slopes and shelves, ridges and canyons. This project will add a chiometer to SWIMS3, our depth-cycling towed body, to observe scalar microstructure in addition to the larger-scale variables currently measured. It will also replace the winch used to cycle SWIMS3 in depth.
