RISWirewalker: An Autonomous Wave-Powered Vertical Profiler
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An inexpensive vertically profiling float that draws its energy from the ocean surface wavefield is described. Termed the ?Wirewalker,? it is a generalized platform capable of supporting a variety of self-contained ...
Observations of Energetic High-Wavenumber Internal Waves in the Kuroshio
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Intense and spatially coherent shear layers were detected in and under the Kuroshio in an April 2000 survey in the East China Sea. The sloping layers, revealed by shipboard Doppler sonars on the R/V Roger Revelle, appeared ...
Baroclinic Energy Flux at the Hawaiian Ridge: Observations from the R/P FLIP
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Estimates of baroclinic energy flux are made in the immediate ?Nearfield? (September?October 2002) and 450 km offshore (?Farfield?; October?November 2001) of the Kaena Ridge, an active barotropic-to-baroclinic conversion ...
Propagation of Low-Mode Internal Waves through the Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The baroclinic tides play a significant role in the energy budget of the abyssal ocean. Although the basic principles of generation and propagation are known, a clear understanding of these phenomena in the complex ocean ...
Dynamics of the Changing Near-Inertial Internal Wave Field in the Arctic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he dynamics of the wind-generated near-inertial internal wave field in the Canada Basin of the Arctic Ocean are investigated using the drifting Ice-Tethered Profiler dataset for the years 2005 to 2014, during a decade when ...
Semidiurnal Baroclinic Wave Momentum Fluxes at Kaena Ridge, Hawaii
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: aena Ridge, Hawaii, is a site of energetic conversion of the semidiurnal barotropic tide. Diffuse baroclinic wave beams emanate from the critical-slope regions near the ridge crest, directed upward and southward from the ...
Direct Breaking of the Internal Tide near Topography: Kaena Ridge, Hawaii
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Barotropic to baroclinic conversion and attendant phenomena were recently examined at the Kaena Ridge as an aspect of the Hawaii Ocean Mixing Experiment. Two distinct mixing processes appear to be at work in the waters ...
Estimating Turbulent Kinetic Energy Dissipation Rate Using Microstructure Data from the Ship-Towed Surface Salinity Profiler
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Near-Inertial Internal Wave Field in the Canada Basin from Ice-Tethered Profilers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: alinity and temperature profiles from drifting ice-tethered profilers in the Beaufort gyre region of the Canada Basin are used to characterize and quantify the regional near-inertial internal wave field over one year. ...
Variations of the North Pacific Subtropical Mode Water from Direct Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ooring measurements from the Kuroshio Extension System Study (June 2004?June 2006) and from the ongoing Kuroshio Extension Observatory (June 2004?present) are combined with float measurements of the Argo network to study ...
