Glider Observations of a Mesoscale Oceanic Island Wake
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIn this study, a 2-yr time series of velocity profiles to 1000 m from meridional glider surveys is used to characterize the wake in the lee of a large island in the western tropical North Pacific Ocean, Palau. ...
Subtidal to Supertidal Variability of Reynolds Stresses in a Midlatitude Stratified Inner Shelf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Long-Range Propagation of the Semidiurnal Internal Tide from the Hawaiian Ridge
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The northeastward progression of the semidiurnal internal tide from French Frigate Shoals (FFS), Hawaii, is studied with an array of six simultaneous profiling moorings spanning 25.5°?37.1°N (≈1400 km) and 13-yr-long Ocean ...
Estimating the Mean Diapycnal Mixing Using a Finescale Strain Parameterization
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: inescale methods are currently being applied to estimate the mean turbulent dissipation rate and diffusivity on regional and global scales. This study evaluates finescale estimates derived from isopycnal strain by comparing ...
Microstructure Observations of Turbulent Heat Fluxes in a Warm-Core Canada Basin Eddy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAn intrahalocline eddy was observed on the Chukchi slope in September of 2015 using both towed CTD and microstructure temperature and shear sections. The core of the eddy was 6°C, significantly warmer than the ...
Microstructure Mixing Observations and Finescale Parameterizations in the Beaufort Sea

Three-Dimensional Double-Ridge Internal Tide Resonance in Luzon Strait
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he three-dimensional (3D) double-ridge internal tide interference in the Luzon Strait in the South China Sea is examined by comparing 3D and two-dimensional (2D) realistic simulations. Both the 3D simulations and observations ...
Reflection of Linear Internal Tides from Realistic Topography: The Tasman Continental Slope
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he reflection of a low-mode internal tide on the Tasman continental slope is investigated using simulations of realistic and simplified topographies. The slope is supercritical to the internal tide, which should predict a ...
Whither the Chukchi Slope Current?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent measurements and modeling indicate that roughly half of the Pacific-origin water exiting the Chukchi Sea shelf through Barrow Canyon forms a westward-flowing current known as the Chukchi Slope Current (CSC), yet the ...
