Abstract

We present turbulence results from two acoustic Doppler current profiler measurement campaigns carried out in Ramsey Sound at two locations within 50mof one another. The first measurements were taken in 2009 and the second in 2011; both include a complete spring–neap cycle. In this paper we characte...
