Measurements of Upper-ocean Velocity and Hydrography Structure During CALYPSO
Abstract
We propose to study oceanic variability near a strong oceanic front in the Coherent LagrangianPathways from the Surface Ocean to Interior (CALYPSO) Departmental Research Initiative (DRI). Our focus will be on resolving the full range of ???submseoscale??? variability at horizontal scales of 1m-10km using a novel technique for obtaining high-resolution transects of temperature, salinity, and velocity measurements at relatively high ship speeds (up to 10kts, though initial efforts will start at slower speeds). The tow-body/instrument-chain effort will bein close collaboration with the CALYPSO project proposed by Ruth Musgrave (WHOI). We will also support the CALYPSO effort with Underway Conductivity-Temperature-Depth measurements (UCTD). The scientific interpretation will be in collaboration with otherCALYPSO investigations.
