Abstract: In attempting to understand the small-scale physical processes that occur within a particular area of the ocean, oceanographers typically examine the local internal wave activity there. The local internal wave activity, ...

Abstract: Vertical arrays of temperature and conductivity sensors are towed from research vessels to obtain cross sections of the ocean's internal structure that result from the dynamic finescale and microscale processes. To estimate ...

Abstract: An Ocean Slope-Displacement Estimator (OSDE) was previously constructed, which estimates the slopes of isotherm displacements from towed thermistor array data. This estimator minimized the problems associated with finestructure ...

Abstract: Electrical conductivity sensors are often used to obtain measurements of small-scale fluctuations, or microstructure, in the ocean. In applications on towed instrument packages, they provide the only way to estimate ...
