Abstract: The pattern of disturbance left by internal wave groups traveling in a uniformly stratified ocean is examined. Particular attention is given to the temporal and spatial reoccurrence of extreme values of some parameter Q, ...

Abstract: The rapid changes in density observed near the continental slope in association with internal waves are explained as nonlinear features of wave reflection.

Abstract: The presence and pattern of Langmuir circulation can be detected using side-scan sonar. The circulation creates bands of subsurface bubbles, scatterers of high-frequency sound, in the downwelling region beneath the surface ...

Abstract: Observations of the frequency of wind wave breaking in deep water are combined with laboratory estimates of the rate of energy loss a from single breaking wave to infer the net rate of energy transfer to the mixed layer ...

Abstract: The alongslope currents flowing over topography of sufficiently length scale, typically less than 10 km, on the continental slopes generate internal lee waves. These carry their momentum predominently toward shallower ...

Abstract: Incident internal waves and those reflected from a uniform slope interact at second order. These interactions are considered for incident waves traveling obliquely to the slope in a uniformly stratified rotating fluid. It ...

Abstract: The effect of internal waves on linear vortices in a homogeneous boundary layer is examined by taking a simple model with a horizontal array of line vortices or vortex cells lying in a layer bounded above by a rigid plane ...

Abstract: Simple analytical models are devised to describe the dispersion of a plume of buoyant material from a fixed source on the sea surface under the action of both mean current and the spatially variable flows induced by Langmuir ...

Abstract: We report here analysis of the first observations with a new instrument, ARIES, designed to record the acoustic backscatter from bubble clouds at several levels below the surface of the ocean. The instrument is deployed ...

Abstract: Internal gravity waves propagating in a uniformly stratified ocean are scattered on reflection from a rough inclined boundary. The boundary is inclined at angle α to the horizontal and the roughness is represented by ...
