Hawaii Ocean Mixing Experiment: Survey Program: Moorings

莱文9819523基金会被提供用于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。调查实验的这一系泊部分将确认潮汐在两个已确定的热点地区的重要性，并量化与重大混合有关的细微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。

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.
