Abstract: A parameterization based on internal wave/wave interaction theory, which infers turbulence production from finescale internal wave shear, is applied to 114 full-water-depth velocity profiles in the Sargasso Sea. An average ...

Abstract: Velocity measurements near Caryn Seamount in the Sargasso Sea reveal intensified mean and near-inertial motions in the upper ocean. Embedded in a regional eastward flow is an anticyclonic eddy that appears to be tied to ...

Abstract: The prevailing view that submesoscale fluctuations (horizontal wavelengths less than a few kilometers and vertical wavelengths less than a few hundred meters) are dominated by internal gravity waves is tested by measuring ...

Abstract: Near-inertial with horizontal scales ?O(10 km) dominate profiles of velocity finestructure collected in the North Pacific Subtropical Front during January 1980. Considerable spatial variability is observed. Two features ...

Abstract: Data from a CTD station and three expendable current profiler drops at the center of the sill of the Faroe Bank Channel are used to examine the structure of the northwestward outflow of cold, relatively fresh, dense water ...

Abstract: A meddy, an eddy formed from Mediterranean source water, was surveyed in detail with two types of expendable profilers and a CTD instrument. The muddy comprised two distinct, vertically aligned tenses with a combined ...

Abstract: 0bservations of vertical profiles of horizontal velocity made around the island of Bermuda during the FAME experiment reveal anomalies in the internal wave field associated with the island bathymetry. Compared to similar ...
