Inner Shelf Mixing: Development and Broad Integration of a New Adaptive Turbulence-Measuring System to Quantify Nonlinear Transport Mechanisms

Abstract

A conceptually new type of process experiment is proposed in which manydozens of identical, inexpensive elements of a turbulence-measuring system aredistributed throughout an expansive experimental domain on as many stationaryor mobile vehicles as practical. The novel nature of this proposal spans throughthe data analysis and distribution: (1) data will be centrally processed by us; (2)turbulence dissipation rates (chi & epsilon) at 1-second / 1 m intervals will beprovided to all PIs for their specific science; (3) the sum total of all data will beassessed/integrated in an experimental space/time synthesis of physical processes.
