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...

Energy Flux and Dissipation in Luzon Strait: Two Tales of Two Ridges

Creator:

Alford, Matthew H., MacKinnon, Jennifer A., Nash, Jonathan D., Simmons, Harper, Pickering, Andy, Klymak, Jody M., Pinkel, Robert, Sun, Oliver, Rainville, Luc, Musgrave, Ruth, Beitzel, Tamara, Fu, Ke-Hsien, and Lu, Chung-Wei

Abstract:

Internal tide generation, propagation, and dissipation are investigated in Luzon Strait, a system of two quasi-parallel ridges situated between Taiwan and the Philippines. Two profiling moorings deployed for about 20 days and a set of nineteen 36-h lowered ADCP-CTD time series stations allowed separate measurement of diurnal and semidiurnal internal...
