Abstract: Vertical spectra of temperature perturbations are due to (i) internal wave displacement in the mean profile and (ii) fine-structure that would still be measured in the absence of internal waves. The former is probably ...

Abstract: Hamon et al.(1975) analyzed two years of surface current data from ships' set along two tracks parallel to 560 km of the east Australian shelf and found a phase lag of 10 days between long (120 day) period current fluctuations ...

Abstract: The effectiveness of mixing near a sloping boundary is reduced not just by the ratio of the stratification there to that in the interior but by the square of this ratio. This result has previously been derived and interpreted ...

Abstract: The ?near-inertial? part of the internal wave continuum is dominant and also different from the rest of the spectrum. A simple possible reason for the difference is that waves generated at the surface are not reflected or ...
