Dynamics of Near-inertial Motions in the Beaufort Sea: Interplay between Forcing Conditions, Stratification and Mixing
Abstract
The proposed research will observe and investigate the temporally and spatially varying Beaufort Sea with a focus on the dynamics of near-inertial motions and the associated turbulent mixing. The suite of observations includes enhanced mooring observations, summer cruises, and drifting Ice-Tethered Profilers with Velocity. These observations provide broad spatial coverage of nearinertial motions, vertical mixing, stratification, and water mass properties that will capture intermittent events and seasonal modulations while focusing on open water and summerconditions.
