Turbulent vertical velocity measurements are scarce in regions prone to convection such as the Labrador Sea, which hinders our …

By ventilating the deep ocean, deep convection in the Labrador Sea plays a crucial role in the climate system. Unfortunately, the …

An overview of methods for measuring turbulence in the ocean, including from profiling floats and gliders, microstructure sensors on autonomous vehicles, and micro-temperature on CTD profiles.

Seaglider dataset from 2019-12 to 2020-05 in the Labrador Sea

Seaglider dataset from 2019-12 to 2020-05 in the Labrador Sea

The Labrador Sea is a fascinating and difficult environment in which to work. In the winter, wind speeds can gust upwards of 200 km/hr, …

A 4-month glider mission was analyzed to assess turbulent dissipation in an anticyclonic eddy at the western boundary of the …

The purpose of the fieldwork activities detailed in this report was to deploy a range of autonomous platforms to measure physical …

The OceanGliders program started in 2016 to support active coordination and enhancement of global glider activity. OceanGliders …

Updated methods to estimate turbulence from Seagliders (originally from Beaird et al. 2012), with a demonstration in the northeast Atlantic. The primary addition is to filter by local stratification as observed by the Seaglider. When N is large, this filter should isolate turbulent processes within the inertial subrange. When N is very low, within the surface mixed layer for example, this filtering acts to remove the mean and any trend with respect to depth from the vertical velocity.
