A field study will be conducted in a partially mixed estuary, the Hudson River, with the objectives of quantifying and characterizing turbulent transport of momentum and salt, and relating these processes to the local and estuary-wide dynamical balances. The measurement program will use a combination boundary layer turbulence sensors, a microstructure profiler, moorings as well as a shipboard surveys to provide the velocity and salinity gradient data needed to resolve the baroclinic and advective contributions to the balances. The study should provide important new insights into the mechanisms of stratified turbulent boundary layers as well as estuarine dynamics.

将在哈德逊河部分混合的河口进行实地研究，目的是量化和表征动量和盐的湍流输送，并将这些过程与当地和河口范围的动力平衡联系起来。测量项目将使用边界层湍流传感器、微观结构剖面仪、系泊设备以及船载测量来提供速度和盐度梯度数据，以解决斜压和平流对平衡的影响。该研究将为层状湍流边界层机制和河口动力学提供重要的新见解。
