Measurements to Quantify the Role of Atmospheric Forcing During Ice Edge Advance Including Wind-Wave Coupling

Abstract

Funds are provided to measure the surface fluxes and ocean waves during the ONR Sea State experiment in autumn 2015 on board the R/V Sikuliaq in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas, and to perform initial post-cruise data processing and analysis. The PI will install the instrumentation on the R/V Sikuliaq, operate and maintain the instruments during the cruise, retrieve instrumentation after the field study, and post-process the data from these instruments. Activities in the data processing phase include initial retrieval of the wave spectra and producing quality-controlled initial bulk and covariance turbulent fluxes and radiative fluxes.
