Airborne Radar Reveals Hidden Fine-Scale Ocean Dynamics in the Iroise Sea

Fine-scale ocean dynamics have long eluded direct observation at the scales where they actually matter. Airborne radar now changes that. Using total surface current vectors from OSCAR, researchers mapped sub-kilometer divergence and vertical velocities in the Iroise Sea, revealing two distinct mechanisms, bathymetric flow acceleration and tidal jet shear, that generate intense mixing. The southern jet's divergence reached O(20f), yet models underestimated it tenfold.
