Title: Water temperature, salinity, turbulent mixing, stratification and currents taken by CTD and ADCP from the research vessel ONRUST in Hudson River Estuary during 6 short cruises from 1994-05-19 to 2001-05-01 (NCEI Accession 0146260)
Abstract: This dataset contains observations of turbulent mixing, stratification and currents in the Hudson River Estuary taken by CTD, microstructure sensor, and ADCP during 6 short cruises in 1994/1995 and 2001. The lower Hudson River is a “partially mixed estuary” with large fortnightly and seasonal variations. In terms of flow dynamics, it represents a tidally forced, stratified shear flow with regions of static instability, well-mixed regions, stably stratified regions with subcriticial gradient Richardson numbers, Ri
