Velocity Structure of Internal Tide Beams Emanating from Kaena Ridge, Hawaii
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservations are reported of the semidiurnal (M2) internal tide across Kaena Ridge, Hawaii. Horizontal velocity in the upper 1000?1500 m was measured during eleven ~240-km-long shipboard acoustic Doppler current profiler ...
Internal Tide Convergence and Mixing in a Submarine Canyon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservations from Eel Canyon, located on the north coast of California, show that elevated turbulence in the full water column arises from the convergence of remotely generated internal wave energy. The incoming semidiurnal ...
Structure and Variability of Internal Tides in Luzon Strait
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Luzon Strait is the generation region for strong internal tides that radiate westward into the South China Sea and eastward into the western Pacific. Intrusions of the Kuroshio and strong mesoscale variability in the ...
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 ...
Energy Flux and Dissipation in Luzon Strait: Two Tales of Two Ridges
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nternal tide generation, propagation, and dissipation are investigated in Luzon Strait, a system of two quasi-parallel ridges situated between Taiwan and the Philippines. Two profiling moorings deployed for about 20 days ...
