This manual gives step-by-step instructions for processing raw data measured by chipod and GusT turbulence sensors. These instruments are designed and manufactured by the Ocean Mixing Group in Oregon State University's College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences.
Thorough understanding of the mechanisms controlling the temperature structure in the surface mixed layer of the ocean and, in particular, accurate values of sea surface temperature are critical for properly parameterizing air-sea heat exchange and quantifying the amount of heat redistributed below the surface. It is however difficult to obtain...
The properties and evolution of nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) depend
upon the background conditions within which waves form, propagate, and dissipate. As a result, the NLIW field on the New Jersey shelf displayed dramatic variability during the Shallow Water 2006 experiment. Wave variability was exhibited by 1) amplitudes that ranged...
