Tidal Exchange through the Kuril Straits
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The tidal exchange between the Okhotsk Sea and the North Pacific Ocean is studied numerically with particular emphasis on the predominant K1 barotropic component. The calculated harmonic constants of the K1 tide in and ...
The Generation of Large-Amplitude Unsteady Lee Waves by Subinertial K1 Tidal Flow: A Possible Vertical Mixing Mechanism in the Kuril Straits
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Numerical experiments with a two-dimensional nonhydrostatic model are performed to investigate tidally generated internal waves in the Kuril Straits and their effect on vertical mixing. The results show that sill-scale ...
