Microstructure estimates of turbulent salinity flux and the dissipation spectrum of salinity

Creator:

Nash, Jonathan D. and Moum, James N.

Abstract:

Direct determination of the irreversible turbulent flux of salinity in the ocean has not been possible because of the complexity of measuring salinity on the smallest scales over which it mixes. Presented is an analysis of turbulent salinity microstructure from measurements using a combined fast-conductivity/temperature probe on a slowly falling...

Turbulent Salinity Flux and the Dissipation Spectrum of Salinity JONATHAN D. NASH* AND JAMES N. MOUM
The role of turbulence stress divergence in decelerating a river plume

Creator:

Kilcher, Levi F., Nash, Jonathan D., and Moum, James N.

Abstract:

Turbulence controls the composition of river plumes through mixing and alters the plume's trajectory by diffusing its momentum. While believed to play a crucial role in decelerating river-source waters, the turbulence stress in a near-field river plume has not previously been observationally quantified. In this study, finely resolved density, velocity,...

Form Drag and Mixing Due to Tidal Flow past a Sharp Point

Creator:

Edwards, Kathleen A., MacCready, Parker, Moum, James N., Pawla, Geno, Klymak, Jody M., and Perlin, Alexander

Abstract:

Barotropic tidal currents flowing over rough topography may be slowed by two bottom boundary–related processes: tangential stress of the bottom boundary layer, which is generally well represented by a quadratic drag law, and normal stress from bottom pressure, known as form drag. Form drag is rarely estimated from oceanic observations...
