Large-Scale Physical Forcing of Thin Layer Dynamics

Abstract

My long-term goals are (1) to understand how physical processes influence the formation, maintenance and dispersion of thin layers of planktonic organisms, and using this information (2) to predict the temporal occurrence and spatial distribution of thin layers in the ocean.
