  • Turbulence and biophysical fluxes in the near surface ocean

    Creator:
    Hoecker-Martínez, Martín
    Abstract:
    Vertical transports of plankton, momentum, heat, and turbulence are modeled. A novel integration of high resolution turbulence and biophysical modeling is used to show the influence of a Kelvin-Helmholtz instability on the vertical migration of simple gyrotactic organisms. A viscous limit on mixing driven by shear turbulence is proposed. Large...

  • Xpod and GusT Processing Manual

    Creator:
    Warner, Sally J.
    Abstract:
    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.

  • Evolution of Turbulence, Heat Content, and Freshwater Lenses in the Diurnal Warm Layer

    Creator:
    Moulin, Aurélie J.
    Abstract:
    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...

  • Effects of Ambient Turbulence on Interleaving at a Baroclinic Front

    Creator:
    Smyth, William D. and Ruddick, Barry
    Abstract:
    In this paper the authors investigate the action of ambient turbulence on thermohaline interleaving using both theory and numerical calculations in combination with observations from Meddy Sharon and the Faroe Front. The highly simplified models of ambient turbulence used previously are improved upon by allowing turbulent diffusivities of momentum, heat,...
