The Development of a Direct Technique for the Determination of Turbulent Fluxes with Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

Abstract

Our long-term goal is to measure the horizontal variability of heat and salt flux in the upper ocean. This will allow us to study the turbulent boundary layer under non homogeneous forcing and the development of coherent boundary layer features such as rolls and Langmuir circulation.
