Systematic microstructure variability in double‐diffusively stable coastal waters of nonuniform density gradient

Abstract: [1] Conductivity microstructure, water velocity, and stratification were measured during a tow-yo transect near the New England shelf/slope front in early August 1997. Velocity data were collected with an acoustic Doppler profiler on the ship. The other data were collected with a towed platform. Estimates of c, the rate of dissipation of temperature variance, were computed from the conductivity data with vertical resolution of 0.3 m. Relationships between c and shear, temperature gradient, buoyancy frequency (… Show more

“…For eighteen of the twenty-five transects K(N) is steeper than N -2 (or equally steep), so F is a decreasing function of density gradient; agreeing with the prior published results (Rehmann and Duda, 2000;Duda and Rehmann 2002). Figure 7 shows K versus N computed for all the selected doubly-stable 2-s intervals for Transects 1-25.…”

“…K is proportional to N -2.2 , so that flux F is proportional to N −1/5 . The minus 2.2 exponent is a bit less negative than the -2.5 to -3.3 estimates in the Duda and Rehmann (2002) paper, so that F as reported here decreases less rapidly with increasing N than the prior result.…”

“…N was calculated from the smoothed SCAMP density data by calculating the change in depth necessary to yield density intervals of Dr 5 0.005 kg m 23 , as outlined in Duda and Rehmann (2002). This method is numerically stable because it avoids N values of 0 s 21 .…”
