Abstract: During August 2006 aggregations of nekton, most likely small fish, intersected microstructure survey lines in Monterey Bay, California, providing an opportunity to examine biologically generated mixing. Some aggregations ...

Abstract: A microstructure survey near the head of Monterey Submarine Canyon, the first in a canyon, confirmed earlier inferences that coastal submarine canyons are sites of intense mixing. The data collected during two weeks in ...

Abstract: Observations and modeling simulations are presented that illustrate the importance of a density contrast and the upstream response to the time dependence of stratified flow over the Knight Inlet sill. Repeated sections of ...

Abstract: Very high turbulent dissipation rates (above ε = 10?4 W kg?1) were observed in the nonlinear internal lee waves that form each tide over a sill in Knight Inlet, British Columbia. This turbulence was due to both shear ...

Abstract: Near-diurnal internal waves were observed in velocity and shear measurements from a shipboard survey along a 35-km section of the Kaena Ridge, northwest of Oahu. Individual waves with upward phase propagation could be ...

Abstract: Dynamic response calibrations have been made for temperature and conductivity probes produced by Sea- Bird Electronics. These probes are used on wire-lowered and towed conductivity, temperature, and depth systems (CTDs) ...

Abstract: hipboard ADCP and towed CTD measurements are presented of a near-inertial internal gravity wave radiating away from a zonal jet associated with the Subtropical Front in the North Pacific. Three-dimensional spatial surveys ...

Abstract: An analysis of a moored time series at 0°, 140°W from November to December 1991 found a nighttime enhancement of isotherm displacement variance and of zonal velocity variance below the surface mixed layer at frequencies ...

Abstract: A four and one-half day time series of upper-ocean shear and density observations was collected in the tropical Pacific Ocean in November 1984. The measurements were made on the equator at 139°50?W during a period when the ...

Abstract: Measurements by the Multi-Scale Profiler (MSP) at seven stations spanning the Straits of Florida characterize levels and patterns of internal wave activity and mixing in this vertically sheared environment. Contrasting ...
