Arabian Sea Dynamics

Abstract

The goal is to identify and understand the mechanisms which determine features of stratification and motion in the upper 200 m or so of mid-latitude oceans. This is the depth range over which surface fluxes of momentum and buoyancy have direct influence. Our interest is in the processes by which shear and stratification interact to change upper ocean structure.
