California Current Moored Array: Local Dynamics and Mixed Layer Study
Abstract
My long-term goals are to quantify and to better understand the dynamics and energetics of the mesoscale in eastern boundary regimes, and to understand the relation between the mixed layer and the mesoscale. My objectives (within the EBC ARI) are to use the 2-year time series of moored currents and temperatures to 1) determine momentum, energy, and vorticity balances in the California Current System on eddy resolving scales, and to 2) determine the importance of local forcing and its coupling to the ocean interior through the mixed layer.
