Abstract

A theoretical response function of full-depth Langmuir supercells (LSC) and unstable convection turbulent flows is determined for vertical velocity variance from slant beam measurements of a standard ADCP (acoustic Doppler current profiler). Results indicate that the most accurate estimate of vertical velocity variance using the ADCP is the larger of the two pair estimates, and not the usual 4-beam estimate.
