The Cascade of Tidal Energy from Low to High Modes on a Continental Slope
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Internal Bores and Breaking Internal Tides on the Oregon Continental Slope
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Near-Inertial Internal Waves and Sea Ice in the Beaufort Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he evolution of the near-inertial internal wavefield from ice-free summertime conditions to ice-covered wintertime conditions is examined using data from a yearlong deployment of six moorings on the Beaufort continental ...
Corrections for Pumped SBE 41CP CTDs Determined from Stratified Tank Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSea-Bird Scientific SBE 41CP CTDs are used on autonomous floats in the global Argo ocean observing program to measure the temperature and salinity of the upper ocean. While profiling, the sensors are subject to ...
Observations of Internal Tides on the Oregon Continental Slope
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: complex superposition of locally forced and shoaling remotely generated semidiurnal internal tides occurs on the Oregon continental slope. Presented here are observations from a zonal line of five profiling moorings deployed ...
