Multiscale Investigations of the Submesocale Energy Cascade - TRIAXUS towed profiling option
Abstract
The challenges associated with accurately representing the transfer of energy in the forward cascade, where submesoscale processes m,ove energy from the mesoscale to smaller scales, has impeded efforts toward synoptic (days, tens of kilometers) upper ocean forecast,s. The problem is acute in regions like the Western Pacific, which exhibits elevated eddy kinetic energy associated with intense cur,rents, meanders, filaments, eddies, internal waves and fronts. This presents an optional expansion of the parent ?Multiscale Investi,gations of the Submesocale Energy Cascade using Autonomous Platforms? proposal that adds ship-based synoptic sampling using a Triaxu,s towed profiler. Details of the proposed autonomous sampling program can be found in the parent proposal.Approved for Public Releas,e
