09.18.12: Notes on TAV/PIRATA meeting, September 2012, Kiel, Germany¶

Notes on presentations¶

See Perez et al. (2012, JGR) for the interannual variability of of the TIWs
See Mignot et al. (2012, JGR) for the temperature inversion east of Hawaii
Marcus Dengler’s use of the Microglider on a SOCUM glider: - up to 5 weeks of data - low level noise - may be able to use solely the turbulence in the motion of the glider to deduce the turbulence!
See Moum and Zhao (JAO Tech, 2012) and Perlin and Moum (JAO Tech, 2012) for turbulence measurements from mooring

Effect of high-frequency wave variability on the transport of the EUC: compute the Stokes drift in OFES and see if it is important as a motivation. See Dennis Moore’s paper on the effect of waves on the EUC and the response to the paper.
Revisit the question of the effect of EDJs on the upper equatorial current system in the standard run. Does the EUC oscillate meridionally at the period of the EDJs?
