Abstract: The authors explore the theoretical and empirical relationship between the nonlocal quantities of the entrainment ratio E, the appropriately depth- and time-averaged flux coefficient Γ, and the bulk Froude number Fro in ...

Abstract: Two mechanisms are proposed whereby internal gravity waves (IGW) may radiate from a linearly unstable region of Boussinesq parallel flow that is characterized in the far field by constant horizontal velocity and Brunt-Väisälä ...

Abstract: roadband measurements of the internal wavefield will help to unlock an understanding of the energy cascade within the oceanic realm. However, there are challenges in acquiring observations with sufficient spatial resolution, ...

Abstract: t is shown that geostrophic vertical shear estimates can be recovered from seismic (i.e., acoustic) images of thermohaline structure. In the Southern Ocean, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current forms a loop within the Falkland ...
