Quantifying Turbulence in the Coastal Environment
Abstract
The long-term goal is enhanced understanding and models of stratified turbulence and small-scale coherent structures, leading to improved predictions of conditions in coastal marine environments The objectives are to: Develop a new methodology for measuring stratified turbulence and coherent structures in coastal environments. Obtain turbulence measurements sufficient for a critical evaluation of turbulence closure models and large eddy simulations in stratified flows under a wide range of conditions. Quantify the interactions of turbulence, sub-mesoscale and mesoscale motions in estuarine environments.
