Synthesis of TKE Dissipation Rate Observations in the Ocean's Wave Zone

Abstract

The goal of this project is to improve our understanding of turbulence and small scale processes in the aquatic near surface layer and their relation to surface waves and meteorological forcing. An improved understanding of these processes should result in the improvement of turbulence parameterization schemes used in the aquatic surface layer and, as a result, in more accurate model predictions.
