Ocean Turbulence Turbulence has important influences on the ocean, many of which are
not well understood. CCPO is analyzing unique observations of high
frequency, small scale flow in the shallow continental shelf to
understand turbulence and its interaction with surface waves and
surface gas exchange. Large Eddy Simulations (LES) are used to
understand the character of these turbulent motions.
