- Abstract:
- New measurements of turbulence will be made by airfoil turbulence probes mounted on Autosub. Horizontal profiles of turbulent activity will be acquired by Autosub in parallel with observations of (i) the vertical profile of dissipation (from the FLY free-fall profiler) and (ii) the production of turbulent kinetic energy (by a fast-sampling bottom-mounted ADCP) in order to investigate the spatial structure and time evolution of turbulence in each of the characteristic regimes of the shelf seas. The new measurements will provide insights into the occurrence and evolution of turbulence and furnish a turbulence data base which is needed for the understanding of biogeochemical processes in the water column and for the testing of turbulence-closure schemes which are key elements of water quality and other inter-disciplinary models.
