Measuring Turbulent Dissipation Using a Tethered ADCP
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he structure function method for estimating the dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy, previously validated for measurements from seabed fixed mounts, is applied to data from 1.2-MHz acoustic Doppler current profiler ...
Forced Oscillations near the Critical Latitude for Diurnal-Inertial Resonance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Oscillations at, or close to, the inertial frequency are widely observed in shelf seas where frictional damping is weak. In the vicinity of latitudes 30°N and S, such motions may become significantly enhanced by a resonance ...
Boils and Turbulence in a Weakly Stratified Shallow Tidal Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of turbulence are made in a weakly but variably stratified region of tidal straining in the eastern Irish Sea using turbulence sensors profiling vertically through the water column on the Fast Light Yo-yo (FLY) ...
