“Tracking air-sea energy exchange through observations of Turbulent Kinetic Energy dissipation rates in the New England Shelf “
Alejandro Cifuentes-Lorenzen
Associate Research Scientist
University of Connecticut, Avery Point Campus

12:30 pm – 1:30 pm
SMAST East, Rooms 101/102
and via Zoom
Abstract:
We present preliminary results from a 2019 field campaign designed to explore the role of wave-driven turbulence in air-sea interaction by resolving Turbulent Kinetic Energy (TKE) dissipation rates above and below the air-sea interface. A series of subsurface ocean side measurements confirm a TKE dissipation rate enhancement relative to the law-of-the-wall. We associate this enhancement to active wave breaking and track the wind energy input to the wave field through joint atmospheric measurements. Observations of the TKE dissipation rate on the atmospheric side were used to capture wave-induced perturbations and estimate the energy flux into the wave field. With these unique set of TKE dissipation rate measurements across the air-sea interface we are able to start addressing wind energy input partitioning into the wave field from a growth and dissipation perspective.
