Early Student Support for SST Control by Subsurface Mixing during Indian Ocean Monsoons
Abstract
Ocean Monsoons ” (N000141410236) Air-Sea Interactions in the Bay of Bengal (ASIRI) DRI Emily Shroyer College of Oceanic & Atmos. Sciences 104 COAS Admin. Bldg., Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331-5503 541-737-1298 shroyer@coas.oregonstate.edu Summary This proposal requests two years of support for Oregon State University PhD candidate Kirsten Cullen. Kirsten will combine analysis of historical CTD data, Argo profiles, and data from the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) mooring array, which includes turbulent mixing sensors (?pods), to explore the upper ocean mixed layer properties, the internal wave climate, and feedbacks between the two. Her focus will span the southern Bay of Bengal (from roughly 5-8N) thereby concentrating on waters surrounding the NRL mooring array. She will participate in upcoming fieldwork, including the recovery cruise for the NRL mooring array. Kirsten arrived at OSU in September 2014, having received a Master’s degree in satellite oceanography from University of Maine. She has already started her thesis work using historical CTD profiles, the Argo data set, and the World Ocean Atlas. Her PhD thesis will focus on these data, related theory and modeling, in close collaboration with PIs from Oregon State (Shroyer, Moum, and Nash) and Hemantha Wijesekera at NRL.
