| description abstract | A transect of velocity profiles across Gulf Stream warm-core ring 82-B shows that the thermostad contained virtually no vertical shear. Enhanced downward-propagating near-inertial wave shear was present at the base of the core, consistent with these waves encountering critical layers as they try to leave the region of negative vorticity. Wave amplification and a shrinking vertical wavelength at the critical layer should lead to instability and shear production of turbulence. High dissipation rates have been observed at the base of ring 81-D's core. | |
