U.S. GLOBEC: Turbulent Mixing on Georges Bank

9631175 HEBERT本项目将作为美国GLOBEC西北大西洋实地研究第2阶段计划的一部分，研究乔治海岸的湍流混合。将进行研究，以确定是否有湍流和捕食者/猎物分布的上下文中，湍流水平影响斑块的猎物和捕食者之间的关系。将追求三个不同的目标：1）调查导致混合率垂直结构的过程和动力学; 2）确定每个位置的底部应力并制定参数化来解释应力的变异性;和3）定义生物斑块与湍流混合率之间的关系。 ***

9631175 HEBERT This project will examine turbulent mixing on Georges Bank as part of the U.S. GLOBEC Northwest Atlantic Field Studies, Phase 2 program. Research will be conducted to determine if there are relationships between turbulence and predator/prey distributions in the context that turbulence levels affect the patchiness of prey and predators. Three different objectives will be pursued: 1) to investigate the processes and dynamics responsible for the vertical structure of mixing rates; 2) to determine bottom stress at each location and formulate a parameterization to explain the variability of the stress; and 3) to define the relationships between biological patchiness and turbulent mixing rates. ***
