Broadly Distributed and Locally Enhanced Turbulent Mixing in a Tidal Estuary
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Spatial variations of vertical turbulent mixing along a stretch of the Hudson River estuary are examined with focus on the vicinity of a ?hydraulic control point? at the George Washington Bridge at which the cross section ...
Microstructure Observations of Turbulent Mixing in a Partially Mixed Estuary. Part II: Salt Flux and Stress
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Turbulent mixing in the water column was observed with a microstructure profiler in the Hudson River estuary during two cruises in summer and fall 1995. The focus is on the estimation of turbulent salt flux and turbulent ...
Microstructure Observations of Turbulent Mixing in a Partially Mixed Estuary. Part I: Dissipation Rate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Variations of turbulent mixing in the water column and in the benthic boundary layer were observed with a microstructure profiler in the Hudson River estuary during two cruises in summer and fall of 1995. Variability ...
Turbulence Closure, Steady State, and Collapse into Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new simple two-equation turbulence closure is constructed by hypothesizing that there is an extra energy sink in the turbulent kinetic energy (k) equation representing the transfer of energy from k to internal waves and ...

Mixing and Entrainment in the Red Sea Outflow Plume. Part II: Turbulence Characteristics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: South of the Strait of Bab el Mandeb, saline Red Sea Water flows downslope into the Gulf of Aden mainly along the narrow 130-km-long ?Northern Channel? (NC) and the shorter and wider ?Southern Channel? (SC). In the NC, the ...
Bottom Layer Turbulence in the Red Sea Outflow Plume
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Turbulence in the Red Sea outflow plume in the western Gulf of Aden was observed with an upward-looking, five-beam, 600-kHz acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). The ?Bottom Lander? ADCP was deployed on the seafloor ...
Diurnal Cycle of Internal Wave Variability in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean: Results from Moored Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A diurnal cycle in temperature and vertical displacement variance has been observed in the stratified region below the surface mixed layer using moored time-series data at 0°, 140°W for there periods: November 1984, April ...
Upper Ocean Shear and Density Variability at the Equator during TROPIC HEAT
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A four and one-half day time series of upper-ocean shear and density observations was collected in the tropical Pacific Ocean in November 1984. The measurements were made on the equator at 139°50?W during a period when the ...
