Time Series of Temperature Microstructure in the Arctic Ocean.

After describing the apparatus used for sampling ocean microstructure from an ice island in the Arctic Ocean, this report discusses vertical thermal microstratification at the upper and lower limits of the Atlantic water on the basis of a spectral analysis of the data. It recommends further analyses...

Description
Summary:After describing the apparatus used for sampling ocean microstructure from an ice island in the Arctic Ocean, this report discusses vertical thermal microstratification at the upper and lower limits of the Atlantic water on the basis of a spectral analysis of the data. It recommends further analyses of the data which could provide a better understanding of internal wave propagation within a stepped thermal structure. Prepared in cooperation with Oregon State Univ., Corvallis, School of Oceanography, Rept. no. Ref 75-18.
