Coastal Mixing

Abstract

I seek to understand the mechanisms of turbulence and mixing in shallow water sufficiently well to be able to specify useful parameterizations for coastal circulation models. I seek to understand the links between mixing rates, the circulation and productivity of the coastal ocean. The short-term objective is to make mixing and circulation measurements in the Oregon upwelling system and test the theoretical turbulence parameterizations developed by D Asaro and Lien (2000) using this data.
