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...

Abstract:: Internal gravity waves, the subsurface analogue of the familiar surface gravity waves that break on beaches, are ubiquitous in the ocean. Because of their strong vertical and horizontal currents, and the turbulent mixing caused by their breaking, they affect a panoply of ocean processes, such as the supply of nutrients...

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...

Creator:: Klymak, Jody M., Legg, Sonya, Alford, Matthew H., Buijsman, Maarten, Pinkel, Robert, and Nash, Jonathan D.
Abstract:: Internal waves are often observed to break close to the seafloor topography that generates them, or from which they scatter. This breaking is often spectacular, with turbulent structures observed hundreds of meters above the seafloor, and driving turbulence dissipations and mixing up to 10,000 times open-ocean levels. This article provides...

Creator:: Wijesekera, Hemantha, Padman, Laurie, Dillon, Tom, Levine, Murray, Paulson, Clayton, and Pinkel, Robert
Abstract:: Several models now exist for predicting the dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy, ϵ, in the oceanic thermocline as a function of the large-scale properties of the internal gravity wave field. These models are based on the transfer of energy toward smaller vertical scales by wave-wave interactions, and their predictions...

Abstract:: Hydrographic and velocity profiles were made through a small baroclinic cyclonic eddy during the Arctic Internal Wave Experiment in the Canada Basin in April 1985. The maximum measured azimuthal velocity was 0.38 m s⁻¹ at a depth of 115 m, with velocities decaying to near zero at 30 and 270...
