I am a seagoing physical oceanographer and part of the Multiscale Ocean Dynamics group at SIO/UCSD. I am tracking the energy path from internal wave sources all the way down to dissipation using long-term velocity times series and turbulence measurements.
The following items break down the derivation of the turbulent dissipation rate of kinetic energy (<math>\varepsilon</math>).
To that end, I am leading the development of the EPSILOMETER, the one-and-only SCRIPPS micro-structure profiler, and get my hands “dirty” with software and the analog front end development, as well as probe fabrication.
