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.

将在哈德逊河这个部分混合河口进行实地研究，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内的动态平衡联系起来。测量程序将使用组合边界层湍流传感器、微观结构剖面仪、系泊装置以及船上勘测来提供解决斜压和平流对平衡的贡献所需的速度和盐度梯度数据。这项研究应该为分层湍流边界层的机制以及河口动力学提供重要的新见解。
