Estimating Internal Wave Energy Fluxes in the Ocean

Creator:: Nash, Jonathan D., Alford, Matthew H., and Kunze, Eric
Abstract:: Energy flux is a fundamental quantity for understanding internal wave generation, propagation, and dissipation. In this paper, the estimation of internal wave energy fluxes <u′p′> from ocean observations that may be sparse in either time or depth are considered. Sampling must be sufficient in depth to allow for the estimation...

Observations of Internal Tides on the Oregon Continental Slope

Creator:: Martini, Kim I., Alford, Matthew H., Kunze, Eric, Kelly, Samuel M., and Nash, Jonathan D.
Abstract:: A complex superposition of locally forced and shoaling remotely generated semidiurnal internal tides occurs on the Oregon continental slope. Presented here are observations from a zonal line of five profiling moorings deployed across the continental slope from 500 to 3000 m, a 24-h expendable current profiler (XCP) survey, and five...

Internal Bores and Breaking Internal Tides on the Oregon Continental Slope

Creator:: Martini, Kim I., Alford, Matthew H., Kunze, Eric, Kelly, Samuel M., and Nash, Jonathan D.
Abstract:: Observations of breaking internal tides on the Oregon continental slope during a 40-day deployment of 5 moorings along 43°12'N are presented. Remotely generated internal tides shoal onto the slope, steepen, break, and form turbulent bores that propagate upslope independently of the internal tide. A high-resolution snapshot of a single bore...

The Cascade of Tidal Energy from Low to High Modes on a Continental Slope

Creator:: Kelly, Samuel M., Nash, Jonathan D., Martini, Kim I., Alford, Matthew H., and Kunze, Eric
Abstract:: The linear transfer of tidal energy from large to small scales is quantified for small tidal excursion over a near-critical continental slope. A theoretical framework for low-wavenumber energy transfer is derived from “flat bottom” vertical modes and evaluated with observations from the Oregon continental slope. To better understand the observations,...

The Direct Breaking of Internal Waves at Steep Topography

Creator:: Klymak, Jody M., Legg, Sonya, Alford, Matthew H., Buijsman, Maarten, Pinkel, Robert, and Nash, Jonathan D.
Abstract:: Internal waves are often observed to break close to the seafloor topography that generates them, or from which they scatter. This breaking is often spectacular, with turbulent structures observed hundreds of meters above the seafloor, and driving turbulence dissipations and mixing up to 10,000 times open-ocean levels. This article provides...

Evaluating TEG Energy Harvesting Capabilities Across Naturally Occurring Temperature Gradients

Creator:: Estenson, Alyssa H.
Abstract:: Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) have gained much popularity in the search for alternatives to clean sources to harvest energy. Given their capability to harness an electric potential given a temperature differential across their opposing faces, and the foreseeable prevalence of naturally and/or commonly occurring temperature gradients in multiple applications, TEGs are...

Are Bird Habitat Associations Consistent Across Space and Time?

Creator:: Rousseau, Josée S.
Abstract:: The concept of the fundamental niche is frequently used in ecology to define the set of environmental conditions needed by a species to survive and reproduce (Hutchinson 1957). In contrast, the realized niche constitutes the locations where a species actually occurred, which is a function of both the environmental (abiotic)...

Three-Dimensional Double-Ridge Internal Tide Resonance in Luzon Strait

Creator:: Buijsman, Maarten C., Klymak, Jody M., Legg, Sonya, Alford, Matthew H., Farmer, David, MacKinnon, Jennifer A., Nash, Jonathan D., Park, Jae-Hun, Pickering, Andy, and Simmons, Harper
Abstract:: The three-dimensional (3D) double-ridge internal tide interference in the Luzon Strait in the South China Sea is examined by comparing 3D and two-dimensional (2D) realistic simulations. Both the 3D simulations and observations indicate the presence of 3D first-mode (semi)diurnal standing waves in the 3.6-km-deep trench in the strait. As in...

Balancing Timber Production and Conservation in the Oregon Coast Range: an Examination of the Response by Birds and Bird-induced Ecosystem Services to Forest Management at Multiple Scales

Creator:: Harris, Scott H.
Abstract:: Society derives many critical and irreplaceable values from forests. With a growing global human population and rates of consumption, forests are under increasing pressure to provide all these values simultaneously. To meet societal demands for wood products, tree plantations are becoming increasingly common and are replacing native forests. Yet, forests...
