Fine Structure and Turbulent Mixing in Near-Surface Layer of the Tropical Ocean

9730643 Soloviev The project will analyze the turbulence data obtained by the Russian bow sensors during TOGA COARE legs of the R/V Moana Wave. The main goal is to quantify turbulence levels in the near-surface layer of the tropical ocean under a variety of forcing and mixed layer conditions. The objectives are to: 1) compare the observed turbulence dissipation rate with theoretical values; and 2) find typical spatial patterns of the turbulence parameters.
