Air-Ice-Ocean Interaction Turbulent Ocean Boundary Layer Exchange Processes

At a time when the polar regions are undergoing rapid and unprecedented change, understanding exchanges of momentum, heat and salt at the ice-ocean interface is critical for realistically predicting the future state of sea ice. By offering a measurement platform largely unaffected by surface waves,...
