Summary of Field Work: |
Study of breaking ocean waves to explore the relationship between environmental conditions and whitecap lifetime.
This work will consist of two 5-day cruises in the Gulf of Mexico, preferably during fall and spring in order to make measurement in variety of conditions. Research will be conducted along the coast and across the shelf, preferably in the vicinity of NDBC and TABS buoys. Breaking waves will be recorded with infrared and visible cameras installed on the upper deck while the vessel is adrift or stationary. Surface microlayer water samples will be made using a rotating drum sampler, if available, otherwise from small boat alongside the vessel. A side-mounted RDCP will also be used to study subsurface bubble clouds. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
The cruise must facilitate an upper deck (vantage point) + power supply to install cameras and equipment in waterproof housing. The experiment requires collecting of standard atmospheric and meteorological shipboard measurements. Preferably, a rotating drum sampler will be available, otherwise, the vessel must have small inflatable boat which can be launched for multiple, brief periods. |
