Direct Measurements of Reynolds Stresses and Turbulence in the Bottom Boundary Layer

Abstract

Predictions of the ocean dynamics, sediment transport, pollutant dispersal and biological processes require knowledge on the characteristics of turbulence in the bottom boundary layer. Modeling of the turbulence requires data for development/validation of closure models.
