Tracer Studies of Mixing in Stratified Coastal Waters

Abstract

Long term goals of the project are: 1. To enable prediction of vertical and lateral mixing from stratification, current and shear characteristics within continental-shelf waters. 2. To provide mixing estimates for use in models of optical properties of continental shelf waters.
