Submarine-Based Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) Measurements of the Upper Arctic Ocean

Abstract

My long-term goals are to better understand and quantify the processes that are primarily responsible for redistribution of heat and salt within the Arctic Ocean. My topical focus has been on quantification of the slope-trapped boundary currents and on understanding the roles of small-scale and mesoscale processes in the redistribution of water properties within the central basins. My geographical focus spans the Arctic Basin but emphasizes the Nansen, Amundsen and Makarov basins and the frontal systems that overlie the interbasin ridges.
