Large-Scale Forcing of the Agulhas Variability: The Seasonal Cycle

Creator:

Matano, R. P., Beier, E. J., Strub, P. T., and Tokmakian, R.

Abstract:

In this article the authors examine the kinematics and dynamics of the seasonal cycle in the western Indian Ocean in an eddy-permitting global simulation [Parallel Ocean Circulation Model, model run 4C (POCM-4C)]. Seasonal changes of the transport of the Agulhas Current are linked to the large-scale circulation in the tropical...

Energy Transmission by Barotropic Rossby Waves Revisited

Creator:

Matano, R. P. and Palma, E. D.

Abstract:

This article presents a semianalytic method to investigate the properties of energy transmission across bottom topography by barotropic Rossby waves. The method is first used to revisit the analytical estimates derived from wave-matching techniques and Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin (WKB) approximations. The comparison between the semianalytic method and WKB indicates that the results...

Spatial and Temporal Variability of the M2 Internal Tide Generation and Propagation on the Oregon Shelf

Creator:

Osborne, J. J., Kurapov, A. L., Egbert, G. D., and Kosro, P. M.

Abstract:

A 1-km-horizontal-resolution model based on the Regional Ocean Modeling System is implemented along the Oregon coast to study average characteristics and intermittency of the M₂ internal tide during summer upwelling. Wind-driven and tidally driven flows are simulated in combination, using realistic bathymetry, atmospheric forcing, and boundary conditions. The study period...

Turbulence and Mixing in Holmboe Waves

Creator:

Smyth, W. D. and Winters, K. B.

Abstract:

Motivated by the tendency of high-Prandtl-number fluids to form sharp density interfaces, the authors investigate the evolution of Holmboe waves in a stratified shear flow through direct numerical simulation. Like their better-known cousins, Kelvin–Helmholtz waves, Holmboe waves lead the flow to a turbulent state in which rapid irreversible mixing takes...

Narrowband Oscillations in the Upper Equatorial Ocean. Part II: Properties of Shear Instabilities

Creator:

Smyth, W. D., Moum, J. N., and Nash, J. D.

Abstract:

Narrowband oscillations observed in the upper equatorial Pacific are interpreted in terms of a random ensemble of shear instability events. Linear perturbation analysis is applied to hourly averaged profiles of velocity and density over a 54-day interval, yielding a total of 337 unstable modes. Composite profiles of mean states and...

Resonant Wind-Driven Mixing in the Ocean Boundary Layer

Creator:

Skyllingstad, Eric D., Smyth, W. D., and Crawford, G. B.

Abstract:

The role of resonant wind forcing in the ocean boundary layer was examined using an ocean large-eddy simulation (LES) model. The model simulates turbulent flow in a box, measuring ~100–300 m on a side, whose top coincides with the ocean surface. Horizontal boundary conditions are periodic, and time-dependent wind forcing...

Differential Diffusion in Breaking Kelvin–Helmholtz Billows

Creator:

Smyth, W. D., Nash, J. D., and Moum, J. N.

Abstract:

Direct numerical simulations are used to compare turbulent diffusivities of heat and salt during the growth and collapse of Kelvin–Helmholtz billows. The ratio of diffusivities is obtained as a function of buoyancy Reynolds number Re[subscript]b and of the density ratio R[subscript]ρ (the ratio of the contributions of heat and salt...

The Efficiency of Mixing in Turbulent Patches: Inferences from Direct Simulations and Microstructure Observations

Creator:

Smyth, W. D., Moum, J. N., and Caldwell, D. R.

Abstract:

The time evolution of mixing in turbulent overturns is investigated using a combination of direct numerical simulations (DNS) and microstructure profiles obtained during two field experiments. The focus is on the flux coefficient Γ, the ratio of the turbulent buoyancy flux to the turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate ϵ. In...

Internal Tide Reflection and Turbulent Mixing on the Continental Slope

Creator:

Nash, Jonathan D., Kunze, Eric, Toole, John M., and Schmitt, Ray W.

Abstract:

Observations of turbulence, internal waves, and subinertial flow were made over a steep, corrugated continental slope off Virginia during May–June 1998. At semidiurnal frequencies, a convergence of low-mode, onshore energy flux is approximately balanced by a divergence of high-wavenumber offshore energy flux. This conversion occurs in a region where the...

The Influence of Lateral Advection on the Residual Estuarine Circulation: A Numerical Modeling Study of the Hudson River Estuary

Creator:

Scully, Malcolm E., Geyer, W. Rockwell, and Lerczak, James A.

Abstract:

In most estuarine systems it is assumed that the dominant along-channel momentum balance is between the integrated pressure gradient and bed stress. Scaling the amplitude of the estuarine circulation based on this balance has been shown to have predictive skill. However, a number of authors recently highlighted important nonlinear processes...
