Bornö Workshop 2016

Ocean Turbulence

Topic

The Bornö Workshop 2016 was focused on ocean turbulence, in particular how measurements using microstructure profilers are carried out. The daily schedule included lectures on fjord physics and ocean turbulence, accompanied by student presentations on papers and presentations of microstructure profiles carried out in the fjord.

Observations using CTD, ADCP and MSS were carried out from the bridge during afternoons.

Place and Time

Monday, July 25 to Friday, July 29 at Bornö Stationen, a small retreat in Sweden (see on map).

Thu and fri

Measurements using moored CTD and ADCP.

Breakfast at 8am, lunch at 12:30pm, dinner at 7pm.

Microstructure campaign

MSS data spanning two afternoons of the summerschool. Notice especially what appears to be strong mixing events the second day seen in the dissipation rates, the first event at 1400 hours in the surface and the second at 1530 in the 10dbar depth.

The level of turbidity during the campaign on Tuesday shows enhanced surface and bottom values.

Ensemble mean temperature

Ensemble mean salinity

Ensemble mean stratification, showing a clear two layer structure.

CTD campaign

Fourier analysis was carried out, showing little more than red noise. Keep in mind that the time span was low, barely resolving the barotropic seiche.
