Arctic Mixed Layer Dynamics

Abstract

Our long term goal is to understand the dynamic and thermodynamic processes causing changes in the velocity and density structure of the upper Arctic Ocean. For example we seek to understand the heat and mass balance of the mixed layer, and the dynamics of internal waves in the Arctic.
