RISRestratification of the Surface Mixed Layer with Submesoscale Lateral Density Gradients: Diagnosing the Importance of the Horizontal Dimension
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A depth-cycling towed conductivity?temperature?depth (CTD) and vessel-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) were used to obtain four-dimensional measurements of the restratification of the surface mixed layer ...
Parametric Subharmonic Instability of the Internal Tide at 29°N
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservational evidence is presented for transfer of energy from the internal tide to near-inertial motions near 29°N in the Pacific Ocean. The transfer is accomplished via parametric subharmonic instability (PSI), which ...
The Latitudinal Dependence of Shear and Mixing in the Pacific Transiting the Critical Latitude for PSI
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: urbulent mixing rates are inferred from measurements spanning 25°?37°N in the Pacific Ocean. The observations were made as part of the Internal Waves Across the Pacific experiment, designed to investigate the long-range ...
Three-Dimensional Structure and Temporal Evolution of Submesoscale Thermohaline Intrusions in the North Pacific Subtropical Frontal Zone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Four instances of persistent intrusive deformation of the North Pacific Subtropical Front were tagged individually by a Lagrangian float and tracked for several days. Each feature was mapped in three dimensions using repeat ...
