Abstract: The microstructure of temperature and velocity were measured for 35 km with a towed vehicle that moved in and around a single interface in a well-developed thermohaline staircase with a density ratio of 1.5. Although the ...

Abstract: A new autonomous and moored microstructure measuring instrument has been tested in coastal waters. The instrument measures shear in the dissipation range of the wavenumber spectrum using four shear probes; temperature ...

Abstract: The rate of dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy has been measured with airfoil probes mounted on an autonomous vehicle, Autosub, on constant-depth legs at 2?10 m below the surface in winds up to 14 m s?1. The observations ...
