RISThe Squeezing of Eddies through Gaps
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The islands of the Lesser Antilles present a porous meridional barrier to North Brazil Current (NBC) rings. To better understand if, when, and how a NBC ring could be squeezed into the Caribbean Sea through such a gappy ...
Estimates of Power Consumed by Mixing in the Ocean Interior
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Much attention has focused on the power required for driving mixing processes in the ocean interior, the thermohaline circulation, and the related meridional overturning circulation (MOC). Recent estimates range from roughly ...
Global Observations of Open-Ocean Mode-1 M2 Internal Tides
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: global map of open-ocean mode-1 M2 internal tides is constructed using sea surface height (SSH) measurements from multiple satellite altimeters during 1992?2012, representing a 20-yr coherent internal tide field. A ...
Near-Inertial Internal Waves and Sea Ice in the Beaufort Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he evolution of the near-inertial internal wavefield from ice-free summertime conditions to ice-covered wintertime conditions is examined using data from a yearlong deployment of six moorings on the Beaufort continental ...
Satellite Investigation of the M2 Internal Tide in the Tasman Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe M2 internal tide in the Tasman Sea is investigated using sea surface height measurements made by multiple altimeter missions from 1992 to 2012. Internal tidal waves are extracted by two-dimensional plane wave ...
Speed and Evolution of Nonlinear Internal Waves Transiting the South China Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the South China Sea (SCS), 14 nonlinear internal waves are detected as they transit a synchronous array of 10 moorings spanning the waves? generation site at Luzon Strait, through the deep basin, and onto the upper ...
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 ...
Reflection of Linear Internal Tides from Realistic Topography: The Tasman Continental Slope
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he reflection of a low-mode internal tide on the Tasman continental slope is investigated using simulations of realistic and simplified topographies. The slope is supercritical to the internal tide, which should predict a ...
Whither the Chukchi Slope Current?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent measurements and modeling indicate that roughly half of the Pacific-origin water exiting the Chukchi Sea shelf through Barrow Canyon forms a westward-flowing current known as the Chukchi Slope Current (CSC), yet the ...
Geographical Distribution of Diurnal and Semidiurnal Parametric Subharmonic Instability in a Global Ocean Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe evidence for, baroclinic energetics of, and geographic distribution of parametric subharmonic instability (PSI) arising from both diurnal and semidiurnal tides in a global ocean general circulation model is ...
