Analysis of temporal and spatial variability of near-inertial energy and flux modified by background
Abstract
Moored observations collected as part of the NISKINE DRI will be analyzed to understand the influence of an evolving background meso,scale current field on the distribution, dissipation, and energy transfer rates of wind-generated near-inertial waves. Three mooring,s were deployed in the center of the Iceland Basin for 16 months and provide a full depth record of the seasonality of the near-iner,tial signal as it varies depending on mixed layer depths, mesoscale variability, and wind power input to the ocean. The results obta,ined from these analyses will be a crucial reference for observations from other instrumentation platforms in the project area invol,ved in the NISKINE DRI.This abstract is publicly releasable.
