Korean Support for the NRL Component of the US and Korea Collaboration on Mixing Processes
Abstract
The proposed effort would provide for Korean support of the NRL component of the US-Korea collaboration on mixing processes in the southwestern Japan/East Sea (MJES); it would complement a previous grant to support the Korean component of the scientific collaboration. The objective of MJES is to understand, quantify the role, and assess the impact of small-scale (O (1 cm)) to sub-mesoscale (O (10 km)) processes, and the effects of topography on the circulation and water-mass transformation in the Japan/East Sea (JES), focusing on the southwestern region where variability is especially energetic and affects the entire JES circulation. The approach to accomplish the objective is to conduct an observational program in collaboration with Korean investigators designed to capture main mixing processes in the southwestern JES. The observation will focus on measuring short and long-term turbulent fluxes, sub-mesoscale variability, and bottom frictional and pressure forces that result from multiple scale bottom variation.
