Energy Transport by Nonlinear Internal Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Winter stratification on Oregon?s continental shelf often produces a near-bottom layer of dense fluid that acts as an internal waveguide upon which nonlinear internal waves propagate. Shipboard profiling and bottom lander ...
Convectively Driven Mixing in the Bottom Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Closely spaced vertical profiles through the bottom boundary layer over a sloping continental shelf during relaxation from coastal upwelling reveal structure that is consistent with convectively driven mixing. Parcels of ...
Submesoscale Water-Mass Spectra in the Sargasso Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ubmesoscale stirring contributes to the cascade of tracer variance from large to small scales. Multiple nested surveys in the summer Sargasso Sea with tow-yo and autonomous platforms captured submesoscale water-mass ...
