Mechanisms responsible for Mesoscale Eddy Energy Dissipation (MerMEED) project

The project ended in 2020; its projects.noc.ac.uk/mermeed website is no longer available.

MerMEED investigated the processes responsible for the widespread dissipation of oceanic mesoscale eddies at western boundaries. The project combined focussed measurements of small-scale turbulence in four short research cruises, multi-year mooring and satellite observations, and multi-month glider surveys of mesoscale eddies impinging on the continental slope east of the Bahamas.
