Turbulent Kinetic Energy Dissipation in Barrow Canyon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: acific Water flows across the shallow Chukchi Sea before reaching the Arctic Ocean, where it is a source of heat, freshwater, nutrients, and carbon. A substantial portion of Pacific Water is routed through Barrow Canyon, ...
Observations of Polarity Reversal in Shoaling Nonlinear Internal Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations off the New Jersey coast document the shoaling of three groups of nonlinear internal waves of depression over 35 km across the shelf. Each wave group experienced changing background conditions along its shoreward ...
Dissipative Losses in Nonlinear Internal Waves Propagating across the Continental Shelf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A single nonlinear internal wave tracked more than 100 wavelengths across Oregon?s continental shelf over a 12-h period exhibited nearly constant wave speed, c = 0.75 m s?1, and amplitude, a = 15 m. The wavelength L gradually ...
