Three-Dimensional Double-Ridge Internal Tide Resonance in Luzon Strait

Creator:: Buijsman, Maarten C., Klymak, Jody M., Legg, Sonya, Alford, Matthew H., Farmer, David, MacKinnon, Jennifer A., Nash, Jonathan D., Park, Jae-Hun, Pickering, Andy, and Simmons, Harper
Abstract:: The three-dimensional (3D) double-ridge internal tide interference in the Luzon Strait in the South China Sea is examined by comparing 3D and two-dimensional (2D) realistic simulations. Both the 3D simulations and observations indicate the presence of 3D first-mode (semi)diurnal standing waves in the 3.6-km-deep trench in the strait. As in...

An Estimate of Tidal Energy Lost to Turbulence at the Hawaiian Ridge

Creator:: Klymak, Jody M., Moum, James N., Nash, Jonathan D., Kunze, Eric, Girton, James B., Carter, Glenn S., Lee, Craig M., Sanford, Thomas B., and Gregg, Michael C.
Abstract:: An integrated analysis of turbulence observations from four unique instrument platforms obtained over the Hawaiian Ridge leads to an assessment of the vertical, cross-ridge, and along-ridge structure of turbulence dissipation rate and diffusivity. The diffusivity near the seafloor was, on average, 15 times that in the midwater column. At 1000-m...

Global Patterns of Diapycnal Mixing from Measurements of the Turbulent Dissipation Rate

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...

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...

Microstructure estimates of turbulent salinity flux and the dissipation spectrum of salinity

Creator:: Nash, Jonathan D. and Moum, James N.
Abstract:: Direct determination of the irreversible turbulent flux of salinity in the ocean has not been possible because of the complexity of measuring salinity on the smallest scales over which it mixes. Presented is an analysis of turbulent salinity microstructure from measurements using a combined fast-conductivity/temperature probe on a slowly falling...

The Cascade of Tidal Energy from Low to High Modes on a Continental Slope

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,...

Internal Tides and Turbulence along the 3000-m Isobath of the Hawaiian Ridge

Creator:: Lee, Craig M., Sanford, Thomas B., Kunze, Eric, Nash, Jonathan D., Merrifield, Mark A., and Holloway, Peter E.
Abstract:: Full-depth velocity and density profiles taken along the 3000-m isobath characterize the semidiurnal internal tide and bottom-intensified turbulence along the Hawaiian Ridge. Observations reveal baroclinic energy fluxes of 21 ± 5 kW m⁻¹ radiating from French Frigate Shoals, 17 ± 2.5 kW m⁻¹ from Kauai Channel west of Oahu, and...

Observations of Internal Tides on the Oregon Continental Slope

Creator:: Martini, Kim I., Alford, Matthew H., Kunze, Eric, Kelly, Samuel M., and Nash, Jonathan D.
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...

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...

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

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...
