Abstract:
146 profiles of post-processed upper-ocean (3m- 200m depth) microstructure data from a MicroRider/glider package collected in the central tropical Atlantic at 11°N, 21°W in April 2014. The glider used was GEOMAR's ifm03, deployment 10 (see https://gliderweb.geomar.de/html/real_glider.html). It was deployed during R/V Meteor cruise M105 and retrieved during R/V Meteor cruise M106. Dissipation rates of turbulent kinetic energy are calculated as described in Foltz et al. (2020, Vertical turbulent cooling of the mixed layer in the Atlantic ITCZ and trade wind regions. Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 125, e2019JC015529). Stored parameters include: Dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy in m^2 s^(-3) averaged from the 2 microstructure shear sensors mounted to the MicroRider and temperature, salinity and depth as measured by the glider.
