Unknown Unknown On two cruises to Georges Bank, April-June 1995, water column microstructure data was collected using the free-fall EPSONDE profiler. The profiler measures temperature microstructure, velocity microstructure, depth, temperature and conductivity. These measurements yield turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rates, temperature variance dissipation rates, and turbulent diffusivity. Profiling was performed at the same two sites (Shallow and Deep) for periods approximating a day or more while the ship was at anchor.
