Gregg 9818693It is proposed to conduct a large coordinated experiment near the Hawaiian Ridge to determine whether sites with rough topography are responsible for the mixing of the global ocean. The goals are to identify the major energy pathways for ocean mixing and achieve an approximate energy budget for the region. The Survey experiment will address the problem of finding a Nearfield site through broad ranging and focused survey. In particular, this project will quantify the geographic variability of shear, stratification and kinetic energy dissipation in the upper 1500 m around the Hawaiian Ridge.

Gregg 9818693建议在夏威夷海脊附近进行一项大型协调实验，以确定地形崎岖的地点是否对全球海洋的混合负有责任。目标是确定海洋混合的主要能源途径，并实现该区域的大致能源收支。调查实验将通过广泛和集中的调查来解决寻找近场选址的问题。特别是，该项目将量化夏威夷海脊周围1500米以上的切变、层结和动能耗散的地理变异性。
