Instrumentation and Analysis Support for the Applied Navy

Abstract

The effort proposed here is to develop and support environmental characterization and improved instrumentation for Navy related projects. Broadly, our work aims to provide measurements by participating in research cruises and developing better measurement techniques for the characterization of environmental parameters relevant to Navy operations (specifically turbulence, near-inertial shear layers, mixing, and upper-ocean stratification) and their effective assimilation into numerical models. Our specific focus here is observations, analysis and instrumentation to improve characterization of near-inertial shear layers and turbulence in the ocean.
