Abstract: he method of decomposing surface and internal tides determines the expression for internal tide energy, energy flux, and energy conversion. The de facto standard is to define surface tides as depth-averaged pressure and ...

Abstract: ide?topography interactions dominate the transfer of tidal energy from large to small scales. At present, it is poorly understood how low-mode internal tides reflect and scatter along the continental margins. Here, the ...

Abstract: ow-mode internal tides are generated at tall submarine ridges, propagate across the open ocean with little attenuation, and reach distant continental slopes. A semidiurnal internal tide beam, identified in previous altimetric ...

Abstract: Internal tides, generated by barotropic tides flowing over rough topography, are a primary source of energy into the internal wave field. As internal tides propagate away from generation sites, they can dephase from the ...

Abstract: he linear transfer of tidal energy from large to small scales is quantified for small tidal excursion over a near-critical continental slope. A theoretical framework for low-wavenumber energy transfer is derived from ?flat ...

Abstract: ackets of nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) in a small area of the Mid-Atlantic Bight were 10 times more energetic during a local neap tide than during the preceding spring tide. This counterintuitive result cannot be ...

Abstract: bservations of breaking internal tides on the Oregon continental slope during a 40-day deployment of 5 moorings along 43°12?N are presented. Remotely generated internal tides shoal onto the slope, steepen, break, and form ...

Abstract: bservations from Eel Canyon, located on the north coast of California, show that elevated turbulence in the full water column arises from the convergence of remotely generated internal wave energy. The incoming semidiurnal ...

Abstract: hydrostatic, coupled-mode, shallow-water model (CSW) is described and used to diagnose and simulate tidal dynamics in the greater Mid-Atlantic Bight region. The reduced-physics model incorporates realistic stratification ...
