  • 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...

  • Providing the best turbulent heat flux estimates from eddy correlation and bulk methods using DYNAMO data

    Creator:
    Marion, June Raven
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, data collected during the Dynamics of the Madden Julian Oscillation (DYNAMO) field campaign, conducted in the Indian Ocean in Fall of 2011, is used to compute heat fluxes at the air-sea interface by evaluating eddy covariances and bulk aerodynamic formulae. Errors in daily average gridded fluxes computed...
