Mixing in the equatorial surface layer and thermocline

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 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 cycle...

Fine-scale variability at 140°W in the Equatorial Pacific

Creator:

Chereskin, T. K., Moum, James N., Stabeno, P. J., Caldwell, Douglas R., Paulson, C. A., Regier, L. A., and Halpern, D.

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...
