CALYPSO: Three dimensional Lagrangian Trajectories

Abstract

We propose experimental work that directly addresses the observational objectives of the DRI: Measure three-dimensional Lagrangian trajectories of water parcels originating in themixed layer and subducting at submesoscale fronts using Lagrangian floats. Measure" the evolving temperature, salinity and velocity along the trajectory from floatmounted sensors, including a new ADCP, and from thes""e, infer mixing rates along the trajectories.~ Collaborate with other CALYPSO investigators, both theoretical and observational, to"" optimize the location of these measurements and place them in a mesoscale, submesoscale and dynamical context.
