Turbulence in the La Jolla Canyon
In collaboration with the Multiscale Ocean Dynamics group at SIO, our team deployed two Wave Gliders just off the Scripps Pier for a week of intensive data collection as part of the Turbulence in the La Jolla Canyon (TLC) experiment. The Wave Gliders were equipped with specialized acoustic sensors as well as our normal set of upper ocean and lower atmospheric measurements. Coordinated sampling strategies were used to collect data across and along the canyon contours. The diverse array of instruments that were deployed by both teams will provide great insight into how underwater sloping bathymetry like what is found in the La Jolla Canyon affects ocean mixing and underwater acoustics.
