Oceanography researchers aim to measure turbulent flow under the ocean to learn useful weather information and predict certain events such as tornadoes and vortexes. Turbulent analysis also allows researchers to learn about the mapping of solids under the ocean. Currently, means of measuring turbulence are acoustic velocimeters that are expensive and easily break. The LOCUS team at UCSB aims to explore alternative ways of measuring turbulence that are cheaper and more accessible, to make oceanography and turbulence study more available. As such, the study and understanding of oceanography in the community will be further developed, as it benefits all of us.
