Abstract: ind-forced internal waves close to the inertial frequency are ubiquitous throughout the world?s oceans, but observational constraints on their global energetics and impact on subsurface mixing remain scarce. This study ...

Abstract: Bulk properties of the Denmark Strait overflow (DSO) plume observed in velocity and hydrography surveys undertaken in 1997 and 1998 are described. Despite the presence of considerable short-term variability, it is found ...

Abstract: he most comprehensive studies of the spatial and temporal scales of diffusivity rely on internal wave parameterizations that require knowledge of finescale shear and strain. Studies lacking either shear or strain measurements ...

Abstract: hree autonomous profiling Electromagnetic Autonomous Profiling Explorer (EM-APEX) floats were air deployed one day in advance of the passage of Hurricane Frances (2004) as part of the Coupled Boundary Layer Air?Sea Transfer ...

Abstract: AbstractMethods for measuring waves and winds from a Wave Glider autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) are described and evaluated. The wave method utilizes the frequency spectra of orbital velocities measured by GPS, and the ...

Abstract: global map of open-ocean mode-1 M2 internal tides is constructed using sea surface height (SSH) measurements from multiple satellite altimeters during 1992?2012, representing a 20-yr coherent internal tide field. A ...

Abstract: ee waves are thought to play a prominent role in Southern Ocean dynamics, facilitating a transfer of energy from the jets of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current to microscale, turbulent motions important in water mass ...

Abstract: The overflow of dense water from the Nordic Seas through the Faroe Bank Channel (FBC) has attributes suggesting hydraulic control?primarily an asymmetry across the sill reminiscent of flow over a dam. However, this aspect ...
