Internal wave energy dissipation and wavenumber spectra: adaptive sampling in the ocean interior ((13) W05)

• Subject Area: Oceanography
• Term: since 2020
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 274762653

We will employ a new hybrid pelagic glider using an innovative approach of combining advanced numerical model informed sampling techniques in real-time to observe internal wave spectra and turbulence in the ocean interior. The objective is to simultaneously observe the oceanic energy spectrum below the submesoscale range and the spatial distribution of energy dissipation.
