Overturning and Dissipation Caused by Baroclinic Tidal Flow near the Sill of a Fjord Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Dissipation time series and moored velocity and density time series on the inner slopes of the Gullmar Fjord sill showed that the internal tides generated at the sill radiated to the head of the fjord, were reflected, and ...
The Internal Seiches in Gullmar Fjord. Part I: Dynamics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Internal seiche motions with period 1?3 days in Gullmar Fjord are investigated based on mooring data with high vertical and time resolution. The period and structure of the internal seiches are well described by a simple ...
The Internal Seiches in Gullmar Fjord. Part II: Contribution to Basin Water Mixing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mixing in the basin water (the water below sill level) of Gullmar Fjord has been investigated with the main focus on the contribution from internal seiches. A companion paper reports evidence for dissipation of internal ...
Observations of Turbulence Caused by a Combination of Tides and Mean Baroclinic Flow over a Fjord Sill
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study investigates the dissipation rates and flow conditions at the Dr?bak Sill in the Oslofjord. The area was transected 13 times with a free-falling microstructure shear probe during 4 days in June 2011. At the same ...
Spatial Variability of Diapycnal Mixing and Turbulent Dissipation Rates in a Stagnant Fjord Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two microstructure profilers, two ships, and four moorings with acoustic Doppler current profilers and conductivity?temperature loggers were used in an intensive effort to map the spatial and temporal variations of vertical ...
