Length scales of turbulence in stably stratified mixing layers

Creator:

Smyth, William D. and Moum, James N.

Abstract:

Turbulence resulting from Kelvin–Helmholtz instability in layers of localized stratification and shear is studied by means of direct numerical simulation. Our objective is to present a comprehensive description of the turbulence evolution in terms of simple, conceptual pictures of shear–buoyancy interaction that have been developed previously based on assumptions of...

SeaSoar spectral light absorption and attenuation observations during the coastal mixing and optics experiment : R/V Endeavor cruises from 14-Aug to 1-Sep 1996 and 25-Apr to 15-May 1997

Creator:

Simeon, Jennifer J., Barth, J. A., Bogucki, D. J., Erofeev, A., O'Malley, R., and Pierce, S. D.

Abstract:

This data report includes documentation of the Coastal Mixing and Optics (CMO) Experiment inherent optical property surveys on the continental shelf and slope in the Mid-Atlantic Bight south of Cape Cod, Massachusettes, USA. The surveys were conducted aboard the R/V Endeavor during two physical oceanography cruises: E9608 (14 August to...
