Abstract
The Maud Rise Nonlinear Equation of State Study (MaudNESS) is a project funded by the National Science Foundation to investigate the role of nonlinearities in the equation of state of seawater in initiating and maintaining deep convective overturning in the open Southern Ocean. The project consists of a late-winter research cruise to the Weddell Sea in 2005 and an array of modeling activities covering a wide range of spatial scales.

Description
The Ocean Turbulence Laboratory in the Oceanography Department at the Naval Postgraduate School has an active research program addressing a range of ocean turbulent boundary layer problems. The group has developed observational systems for studying sub-ice boundary layers in polar regions, coastal internal waves, solitons and turbulence over the continental shelf, and the wave forced boundary bottom boundary layer over the inner shelf and surf zone.
