The Statistics of Oceanic Turbulence Measurements. Part II: Shear Spectra and a New Spectral Model

Abstract

This manuscript provides (i) the statistical uncertainty of a shear spectrum and (ii) a new universal shear spectrum, and (iii) shows how these are combined to quantify the quality of a shear spectrum. The data from four collocated shear probes, described in Part I, are used to estimate the spectra of shear, Ψ(
