Horizontal Variability in Surface Mixing in Response to Wind Forcing

Abstract

Our long term goal is to develop a tethered glider vehicle that will carry the microstructure profiler EPSONDE and to use this system to study the horizontal and vertical variability of mixing processes in the ocean mixed layer in response to atmospheric forcing.
