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.

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.

Phytoplankton in the ocean are a key component of the global carbon cycle and the base of most marine food webs. They contribute …

An autonomous underwater vehicle (Seaglider) has been used to estimate marine primary production (PP) using a combination of irradiance …

Deep convection—the process by which surface waters are mixed down to 1000 m or deeper—forms the primary downwelling of the meridional …
