The Unpredictable Nature of Internal Tides on Continental Shelves

Creator:

Nash, Jonathan D., Kelly, Samuel M., Shroyer, Emily L., Moum, James N., and Duda, Timothy F.

Abstract:

Packets of nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) in a small area of the Mid-Atlantic Bight were 10 times more energetic during a local neap tide than during the preceding spring tide. This counterintuitive result cannot be explained if the waves are generated near the shelf break by the local barotropic tide...

Ocean Mixing by Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability

Creator:

Smyth, William D. and Moum, James N.

Abstract:

Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability, characterized by the distinctive finite-amplitude billows it generates, is an important mechanism in the development of turbulence in the stratified interior of the ocean. In particular, it is often assumed that the onset of turbulence in internal waves begins in this way. Clear recognition of the importance...

Air-Sea Interactions from Westerly Wind Bursts During the November 2011 MJO in the Indian Ocean

Creator:

Moum, James N., de Szoeke, Simon P., Smyth, William D., Edson, James B., DeWitt, H. Langley, Moulin, Aurélie J., Thompson, Elizabeth J., Zappa, Christopher J., Rutledge, Steven A., Johnson, Richard H., and Fairall, Christopher W.

Abstract:

The life cycles of three Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) events were observed over the Indian Ocean as part of the Dynamics of the MJO (DYNAMO) experiment. During November 2011 near 0°, 80°E, the site of the research vessel Roger Revelle, the authors observed intense multiscale interactions within an MJO convective envelope,...
