Boundary Layer under Near-Inertial Internal Waves over a Critically Sloping Bottom
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Internal waves reflecting off sloping bottoms have been shown to have boundary-layer scales proportional to ?½ (? is viscosity). As the characteristic slope of the wave approaches the slope of the bottom, the boundary-layer ...
Hydrographic and Current Observations on the Continental Slope and Shelf of the Western Equatorial Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hydrographic and current-profiling data from December 1980 and current-meter data obtained between September 1980 and November 1981 from the continental slope and shelf of the western equatorial Atlantic between 2° and 7°N ...
High-Resolution Directional Wave Spectra from Horizontally Mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Meters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The paper discusses the estimation of directional wave spectra by the Iterative Maximum Likelihood Method. The performance of the estimate is illustrated using data obtained by an Acoustic Doppler Current Meter in the ...
