Finescale Structure of the Temperature-Salinity Relationship
The long term goal of this project is to understand the processes that establish the temperature-salinity relationship in the ocean, with emphasis on the interplay between advection at the large scale, eddy stirring at the mesoscale and turbulent mixing at the finescale. The objectives of this propo...
