| Research Abstract |
In order to measure turbulent microstructures at a coastal front, we have developed a tethered free fall microstructure profiler (TurboMAP-Glider). This is a quasi-horizontal profiler, thus it is suited to measure mixing events around front and layered structures. We also designed a lunching system to protect the instrument during launching and recovering. In addition to TurboMAP-Glider, we also developed a towed free-fall CTD system (Sailing Boat Profiler, SBPro) so that we can identify the location of front.
