Near-Inertial Energy Fluxes in NISKINE: Temporal and Spatial Variability of Near-Inertial Shear in the Upper Ocean
Abstract
In order to understand how the energy flux of near-inertial waves is modulated and removed from the ocean, one or more full depth moorings will be deployed in a near-inertial hot-spot-ove a full seasonal cycle to estimate the variability of the energy flux. Additionally, fast profiling towed measurements using the fastCTD will be conducted during two process studies to determine how that near-inertial energy flux is distributed away from mooring location, and to make additional estimates of how the energy is modulated in an active mesoscale ultimately removed from the system
