A Near-Inertial Internal Wave Spectrum for the Sargasso Sea in Late Summer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Independent estimates of the frequency?wavenumber spectrum of near-inertial waves for the Sargasso Sea in late summer were made using 8 time series of horizontal velocity from a single moored vertical array and 58 vertical ...
Observations of Persistent Mixing and Near-Inertial Internal Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Repeated profiles of microstructure and shear alongside a drogued buoy show a 10 m thick mixing zone at the same depth as a near-inertial feature. Because the profile was diffusively stable and free of thermohaline intrusions, ...
Internal Waves and Turbulence in the Upper Central Equatorial Pacific: Lagrangian and Eulerian Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the shear stratified flow below the surface mixed layer in the central equatorial Pacific, energetic near-N (buoyancy frequency) internal waves and turbulence mixing were observed by the combination of a Lagrangian ...

Impact of Typhoons on the Ocean in the Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: cyclones (TCs) change the ocean by mixing deeper water into the surface layers, by the direct air?sea exchange of moisture and heat from the sea surface, and by inducing currents, surface waves, and waves internal to the ...
