Creator:: Moum, James N., Caldwell, Douglas R., and Paulson, Clayton A.
Abstract:: Twelve days of microstructure measurements at the equator (140°W) in November 1984 showed a surprisingly strong effect of both the daily cycle of solar heating and wind on mixing in the upper ocean. Because of limited variations in atmospheric forcing and currents during the experiment, processes in the daily mixing...

Abstract:: Repeated microstructure transects across filaments in the coastal transition zone (CTZ) have Revealed fundamental structure and dynamics of the complicated features. The measurements allow detailed momentum and vorticity analyses and provide a possible explanations for structural asymmetry of the fronts. Observations made between July 2 and July 23, 1988, along...

Creator:: Caldwell, Douglas R., Dillon, T. M., Brubaker, J. M., Newberger, P. A., and Paulson, C. A.
Abstract:: Tests of a formula derived for the cutoff wave number of vertical temperature gradient spectra, using data taken in the upper layers of the North Pacific, show encouraging results. To derive this formula, the cutoff wave number is assumed to be the Batchelor wave number, with kinetic energy dissipation calculated...

Abstract:: In November-December 1984 we carried out an intensive 12-day upper ocean sampling program on the equator at 140°W as part of the Tropic Heat Experiment. From our observations we constructed hourly averaged profiles of temperature, salinity, σ₁, turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate, and horizontal velocity. These data were used to...

Abstract:: From a comprehensive set of upper ocean measurements made during a moderate El Niño in boreal spring 1987, we reassess the role of turbulence in transporting momentum vertically at the equator. An examination of the terms in the vertically integrated zonal momentum equations indicates that on short time scales the...
