Quantification of the spatial and temporal evolution of stratified shear instabilities at high Reynolds number using quantitative acoustic scattering techniques
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
The spatial and temporal evolution of stratified shear instabilities is quantified in a highly stratified and energetic estuary. The measurements are made using high-resolution acoustic backscatter from an array composed ...
Physical control of the distributions of a key Arctic copepod in the Northeast Chukchi Sea
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
The copepod Calanus glacialis is one of the most important zooplankton taxa in the Arctic shelf seas where it serves as a key grazer, predator, and food source. Its summer distribution and abundance has direct effects on ...
Real time bottom reverberation simulation in deep and shallow ocean environments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Due to the costs involved and time required to perform experiments at sea, it is important to provide accurate simulations of the ocean environment. Using the ray tracing code, BELLHOP, the Mission Oriented Operating Suite ...
Scattering of the low-mode internal tide at the Line Islands Ridge
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
The scattering of low-mode internal tides by ocean-floor topography is extensively studied through analytical models and field observations at the Line Islands Ridge (LIR). An existing Green function method is utilized to ...
