Internal Waves in Straits Experiment (IWISE) With fieldwork in the summers of 2010 and 2011, this ONR-funded project focuses on understanding the mechanisms controlling the generation of internal tides in the two-ridge system of Luzon Strait---along with their propagation, contribution to mixing (dissipation) and interaction with the Kuroshio. |

Hawaii Ocean Time Series (HOT) Profiler Developing a next-generation profiling system wherein a McLane profiler is equipped with rechargeable batteries, that are topped off periodically from a large bank of underwater batteries. The additional energy allows it to profile for a year instead of only 1-2 months. Data are telemetered back to shore via iridium from a small surface float.

Washington Real-time Coastal Moorings (NEMO) The Northwest Enhanced Moored Observatory (NEMO), which consists of a heavily-instrumented real-time surface mooring (Cha Ba), a real-time subsurface profiling mooring (NEMO-Subsurface) and a Seaglider to collect spatial information, aims to improve our understanding of complex physical, chemical and biological processes on the largely un-sampled Washington shelf.

Global Internal Tides from Altimetry In this ongoing project we endeavor to use our new techniques to analyze data from satellite altimeters (including T/P, Jason-1/2, ERS-1/2, Envisat, GFO) to make global maps of energy and energy flux in the internal tides, with an eye toward mapping where they eventually break. |
