EXPANSION OF N00014-15-1-2580: HIGH RESOLUTION MEASUREMENTS IN SUPPORT OF NAVY MODELING

Abstract

We propose to conduct upper-ocean measurements from a wave-powered profiler on a 2-week cruise in May 2016 that will contribute to o"ur understanding of upper ocean turbulence and the evolution of scalar fields, and to begin work developing a prototype velocity and" turbulence sensor for mounting on towed and underway vehicles. These measurements and developments will be of general utility to ongoing Navy modeling efforts.
