Internal Tide Nonstationarity and Wave–Mesoscale Interactions in the Tasman Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Internal tides, generated by barotropic tides flowing over rough topography, are a primary source of energy into the internal wave field. As internal tides propagate away from generation sites, they can dephase from the ...
Tides in a System of Connected Estuaries
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he spatial structure of tidal amplitude and phase in a simplified system of connected estuaries, an idealized version of Florida?s Intracoastal Waterway, is analyzed with a linear analytical model. This model includes ...
Subtidal to Supertidal Variability of Reynolds Stresses in a Midlatitude Stratified Inner Shelf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Internal Tide Convergence and Mixing in a Submarine Canyon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservations from Eel Canyon, located on the north coast of California, show that elevated turbulence in the full water column arises from the convergence of remotely generated internal wave energy. The incoming semidiurnal ...
Estimating the Mean Diapycnal Mixing Using a Finescale Strain Parameterization
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: inescale methods are currently being applied to estimate the mean turbulent dissipation rate and diffusivity on regional and global scales. This study evaluates finescale estimates derived from isopycnal strain by comparing ...
Turbulence Driven by Reflected Internal Tides in a Supercritical Submarine Canyon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Observations of the Tasman Sea Internal Tide Beam
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractLow-mode internal tides, a dominant part of the internal wave spectrum, carry energy over large distances, yet the ultimate fate of this energy is unknown. Internal tides in the Tasman Sea are generated at Macquarie ...
Submesoscale Processes at Shallow Salinity Fronts in the Bay of Bengal: Observations during the Winter Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractLateral submesoscale processes and their influence on vertical stratification at shallow salinity fronts in the central Bay of Bengal during the winter monsoon are explored using high-resolution data from a cruise ...
