Observations of Turbulence in the Ocean Surface Boundary Layer: Energetics and Transport

Observations of Turbulence in the Ocean Surface Boundary Layer: Energetics and Transport

Observations of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) dynamics in the ocean surface boundary layer are presented here and compared with results from previous observational, numerical, and analytic studies. As in previous studies, the dissipation rate of TKE is found to be higher in the wavy ocean surface b...
