RISA Composite View of Surface Signatures and Interior Properties of Nonlinear Internal Waves: Observations and Applications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Surface signatures and interior properties of large-amplitude nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) in the South China Sea (SCS) were measured during a period of weak northeast wind (?2 m s?1) using shipboard marine radar, an ...
Nonlinear Internal Wave Properties Estimated with Moored ADCP Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: method is developed to estimate nonlinear internal wave (NLIW) vertical displacement, propagation direction, and propagation speed from single moored acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) velocity observations. The ...
Trapped Core Formation within a Shoaling Nonlinear Internal Wave
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: arge-amplitude (100?200 m) nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) were observed on the continental slope in the northern South China Sea nearly diurnally during the spring tide. The evolution of one NLIW as it propagated up the ...
The Breaking and Scattering of the Internal Tide on a Continental Slope
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: strong internal tide is generated in the Luzon Strait that radiates westward to impact the continental shelf of the South China Sea. Mooring data in 1500-m depth on the continental slope show a fortnightly averaged incoming ...
