Abstract: The use of acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) to measure turbulent parameters via the variance method involves uncertainties due to instrument noise and flow-related errors in measurement. For weak flows, the ...

Abstract: In regions of large horizontal density gradient, tidal straining acts to produce a periodic component of stratification that interacts with turbulent mixing to control water column structure and flow. A 25-h series of ...

Abstract: A high-frequency (1.2 MHz) acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) moored on the seabed has been used to observe the mean and turbulent flow components in a narrow tidally energetic channel over six tidal cycles at neap ...

Abstract: The free-fall FLY profiler has been used to determine the variation in energy dissipation ? in the water column over a tidal cycle at mixed and stratified sites in the Irish Sea. It was found that ? exhibits a strong M4 ...

Abstract: Simultaneous measurements of the rates of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) dissipation (ε) and production (P) have been made over a period of 24 h at a tidally energetic site in the northern Irish Sea in water of 25-m depth. ...

Abstract: Two microstructure profilers, two ships, and four moorings with acoustic Doppler current profilers and conductivity?temperature loggers were used in an intensive effort to map the spatial and temporal variations of vertical ...
