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...

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...

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...

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,...

Creator:: Waterhouse, Amy F., MacKinnon, Jennifer A., Nash, Jonathan D., Alford, Matthew H., Kunze, Eric, Simmons, Harper L., Polzin, Kurt L., St. Laurent, Louis C., Sun, Oliver M., Pinkel, Robert, Talley, Lynne D., Whalen, Caitlin B., Huussen, Tycho N., Carter, Glenn S., Fer, Ilker, Waterman, Stephanie, Naveira Garabato, Alberto C., Sanford, Thomas B., and Lee, Craig M.
Abstract:: The authors present inferences of diapycnal diffusivity from a compilation of over 5200 microstructure profiles. As microstructure observations are sparse, these are supplemented with indirect measurements of mixing obtained from (i) Thorpe-scale overturns from moored profilers, a finescale parameterization applied to (ii) shipboard observations of upper-ocean shear, (iii) strain as...
