Completed Project: ONR Coastal Mixing and Optics Moored Array Experiment (CMO)

To identify specific processes and conditions contributing to vertical mixing and the evolution of stratification on a broad continental shelf, we deployed a moored array at midshelf in the mid-Altantic Bight. The experiment incorporated data from four fully-instrumented surface moorings, four subsurface moorings, a Seatex WaveScan buoy, a moored Fanbeam Doppler Profiler, and hundreds of CTD casts. Funding for CMO was provided by the Office of Naval Research.

Please see the main CMO section for detailed information and data.

Monthly plots, information about the CTD surveys, wave package, and more can be found on the page uopcmo.html.
