LatMix 2011 and 2012 Dispersion Analysis
Abstract
Project Summary Numerous papers by our group relating to the LatMix field and modeling efforts are either published, submitted, or in preparation and nearing completion. Our analysis to date relating to the LatMix dye results have contributed significant insight into the underlying mechanisms responsible for isopycnal and diapycnal mixing and cross-frontal transport during both the 2011 and 2012 field campaigns. Despite the many manuscripts already resulting from the LatMix dye/drifter/lidar effort, however, there are additional aspects of the data and analysis that are beyond the scope of these already-in-progress manuscripts, but which we believe also represent significant contributions warranting publication. These include a manuscript describing our inversion approach for determining absolution dye concentration from raw waveforms collected during the LatMix 2011 airborne lidar surveys, and completion of the analysis and write-up of major results stemming from the LatMix 2012 dye release experiments. Publication of these two additional manuscripts, as well as ancillary analysis associated with this effort, has the potential to significantly enhance the impact of the LatMix field efforts. An additional benefit of the proposed effort is that it will also further strengthen the results of multiple manuscripts already published or in preparation by our group as well as by other LatMix PIs. The additional manuscripts proposed here could be completed with a relatively small amount of additional time/effort, and hence are the subject of the present 1 year supplemental funding request.
