Levine 9819523Funding is provided 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. This mooring component of the Survey experiment will confirm the importance of the tide at two identified hot spots and quantified the enhanced level of fine-scale activity associated with significant mixing. The high frequency data set will also be used to validate the numerical models and help identify the best site for Near field experiment.

列文9819523提供资金在夏威夷海脊附近进行一项大型协调实验，以确定地形粗糙的地点是否对全球海洋的混合负责。目标是确定海洋混合的主要能量途径，并实现该区域的大致能量收支。调查实验的系泊部分将确认两个已确定的热点潮汐的重要性，并量化与显著混合相关的精细尺度活动的增强水平。高频数据集还将用于验证数值模型，并帮助确定近场实验的最佳地点。
