Eddy-Induced Modulation of Turbulent Dissipation over Rough Topography in the Southern Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: esoscale eddies are universal features of the ocean circulation, yet the processes by which their energy is dissipated remain poorly understood. One hypothesis argues that the interaction of strong geostrophic flows with ...
Suppression of Internal Wave Breaking in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current near Topography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: imultaneous full-depth microstructure measurements of turbulence and finestructure measurements of velocity and density are analyzed to investigate the relationship between turbulence and the internal wave field in the ...
Estimating Geostrophic Shear from Seismic Images of Oceanic Structure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: t is shown that geostrophic vertical shear estimates can be recovered from seismic (i.e., acoustic) images of thermohaline structure. In the Southern Ocean, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current forms a loop within the Falkland ...
