Definition
- The Coastal Mixing and Optics Program is an oceanography program to study the mixing of ocean water on the continental shelf, and the effect of the mixing on the transmission of light through the water. An experiment was carried out in 1996-97 at a location in the Mid-Atlantic Bight, 80 miles southeast of Montauk Point, Long Island, and 60 miles south of Martha's Vinyard. There were two "Primer" programs which were closely related to the CMO Program and involved ocean acoustics on the shelf. These acoustics programs were the Synthetic Aperture Sonar Volume Coherence primer, and the Sound Propagation from the Continental Slope to the Continental Shelf primer. All of these programs are sponsored by the Office of Naval Research. The following institutions are involved in the program: Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, University of California Santa Barbara, Oregon State University, University of Washington Applied Physics Lab, Bedford Institute of Oceanography, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Texas A&M University, University of Connecticut, and Dalhousie University.
