MOD’s October 2023 TLC experiment involved a dye release and a week of tracking the dye with our profiling winch and FCTD onboard RV Bob & Betty Beyster.
Epsilometer testing
The epsi (short for epsilometer, as it measures the turbulent quantity epsilon) has two shear probes, two thermistors and accelerometers.
We are really making progress on the Navy-funded epsilometer! It is now capable of streaming serial data or writing to compact flash, has a 1000-m pressure case, and can run for a couple of days on AA batteries. We're beginning to put it on everything, including wire walkers and a newly designed fast CTD vehicle.
We have a test early November on R/V Sproul and are hoping for excellent results.
