Abstract: n energetically consistent model for the diapycnal diffusivity induced by breaking of internal gravity waves is proposed and tested in local and global settings. The model [Internal Wave Dissipation, Energy and Mixing ...

Abstract: he recently proposed Internal Wave Dissipation, Energy and Mixing (IDEMIX) model, describing the propagation and dissipation of internal gravity waves in the ocean, is extended. Compartments describing the energy contained ...

Abstract: hen internal (inertia-)gravity waves propagate in a vertically sheared geostrophic (eddying or mean) flow they exchange energy with the flow. A novel concept parameterizing internal wave-mean flow interaction in ocean ...

Abstract: novel concept for parameterizing internal wave-mean flow interaction in ocean circulation models is extended to an arbitrary two-dimensional flow with vertical shear. The concept is based on the description of the entire ...

Abstract: wo surface waves can interact to produce an internal gravity wave by nonlinear resonant coupling. The process has been called spontaneous creation (SC) because it operates without internal waves being initially present. ...

Abstract: A concise theory for scattering of internal waves at localized inhomogeneities (i.e., topographic features, baroclinicity in the density field, variations of the mean sea level, jetlike currents) in the oceanic waveguide ...

Abstract: The paper presents the WKB theory of internal wave propagation in a large-scale geostrophic mean flow with vertical as well as horizontal shear. As an application a mean flow with isopycnals having constant slope but ...

Abstract: A new type of ocean general circulation model with simplified physics is described and tested for various simple wind-driven circulation problems. The model consists of the vorticity balance of the depth-averaged flow and ...

Abstract: The ocean area south of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) frontal system is a region of major watermass modification. Influx of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW), small-scale mixing, eddy transport and diffusion, as ...
