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 ...
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 ...
Internal Tide Structure and Temporal Variability on the Reflective Continental Slope of Southeastern Tasmania
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Characterization of Mixing at the Edge of a Kuroshio Intrusion into the South China Sea: Analysis of Thermal Variance Diffusivity Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Global Patterns of Diapycnal Mixing from Measurements of the Turbulent Dissipation Rate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors present inferences of diapycnal diffusivity from a compilation of over 5200 microstructure profiles. As microstructure observations are sparse, these are supplemented with indirect measurements of mixing obtained ...
Arctic Ocean Warming Contributes to Reduced Polar Ice Cap
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analysis of modern and historical observations demonstrates that the temperature of the intermediate-depth (150?900 m) Atlantic water (AW) of the Arctic Ocean has increased in recent decades. The AW warming has been uneven ...
