Synthesis of TKE Dissipation Rate Observations in the Ocean's Wave Zone

Abstract

We wish to improve our understanding of turbulence and small scales processes in the oceanic near surface layer and their relation to surface waves. Better understanding of these processes will ultimately improve turbulence parameterization schemes resulting in more accurate model predictions.
