Abstract: The propagation of internal tides (12-h period internal waves) is observed over a continental shelf break region on the Australian North West Shelf. The observed phase speeds of the waves, calculated from thermistor chain ...

Abstract: A nonlinear, primitive equation, finite-difference numerical model is applied to the problem of the generation, propagation, and dissipation of internal tides over a cross section of the continental slope and shelf topography ...

Abstract: The onset of thermal stratification in an isohaline, wind-mixed water body is shown, by a simple model and observations, to be determined by the parameter u*3/hB?, where u* is the friction velocity of the air just above ...

Abstract: The properties of the semidiurnal internal tide, in the region of the shelf-break, at a location on the Australian North West Shelf are discussed. Information is derived from an analysis of thermistor chain and current ...

Abstract: The vertical structure of the semidiurnal internal tide is calculated from current meter data, for three locations of varying bathymetry, on the southern part of the Australian North West Shelf. These results are compared ...

Abstract: An analysis of current meter data and cross-shelf temperature measurements from the Australian North-West Shelf shows the existence of internal waves of semi-diurnal period. Vertical displacements of density interface am ...

Abstract: In 1983 Tropical Cyclone Jane crossed the North West Coast of Australia generating a storm surge. Currents associated with this storm surge were recorded at two offshore moorings south of the cyclone track. The data from ...

Abstract: A numerical solution to the generalized Korteweg-de Vries (K-dV) equation, including horizontal variability and dissipation, is used to model the evolution of an initially sinusoidal long internal wave, representing an ...

Abstract: Observations are presented of the internal tide over the continental shelf and slope from a cross section on the Australian North West Shelf. Data collected from moored instruments and repeated profile measurements during ...
