Annual cycle of upper ocean turbulence in the Nordic Seas: observations and models
Abstract
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASEThe Nordic Seas are a region where Arctic and Atlantic water masses meet and exp,erience significant transformations. We propose to study the annual cycle of upper ocean turbulence in the Nordic Seas using microst,ructure equipped Teledyne-Webb Slocum Gliders. The particular focus of our study is the rapid evolution of the Ocean Boundary Layer,(OBL) under strong forcing. Complimentary situational awareness (SA) models will be run using the Dynamical Downscaling methodology,of Simmons et al., (2019). Glider operations will be maintained continuously over a two year Intensive Operations Period, supported,and contextualized with regional ocean models.
