UUV-based Studies of Turbulence and Mixing in Shallow Water

Abstract

The overall goal of the research is to utilize turbulence measurements obtained from Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) based sensors to investigate the role of vertical mixing processes on the horizontal structure of hydrographic and optical properties in shallow water.
