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...

Abstract:

Since the end of the Cold War, the US Navy has had an increasing interest in continental shelves and slopes as operational areas. To work in such areas requires a good understanding of ocean acoustics, coastal physical oceanography, and, in the modern era, autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) operations. Each area...
