An Improvement in the Calculation of ADCP Velocities
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Acoustic Doppler current profilers are used to measure currents in a variety of aquatic conditions. When nonzero pitch and roll angles occur, a number of complications arise in the conversion from beam velocities, which ...
Reynolds Stresses and Secondary Circulation in a Stratified Rotating Shear Flow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A transverse secondary circulation should result from vertical mixing of momentum in a stratified shear flow influenced by the earth's rotation. A rigidly mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler was deployed at the bottom ...
Microstructure Measurements from a Towed Undulating Platform
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: MicroSoar, an undulating profiler capable of measuring turbulence parameters such as Thorpe scales and thermal dissipation rate while being towed at speeds of up to 4 m s?1, offers the possibility of obtaining a close-to-synoptic ...
