Dissipative Losses in Nonlinear Internal Waves Propagating across the Continental Shelf

Creator:

Moum, J. N., Farmer, D. M., Shroyer, E. L., Smyth, W. D., and Armi, L.

Abstract:

A single nonlinear internal wave tracked more than 100 wavelengths across Oregon’s continental shelf over a 12-h period exhibited nearly constant wave speed, c = 0.75 m s⁻¹, and amplitude, a = 15 m. The wavelength L gradually decreased from 220 m in 170-m water depth to 60 m in...
