The Application of Internal-Wave Dissipation Models to a Region of Strong Mixing

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...

Hydrography and microstructure of an Arctic cyclonic eddy

Creator:

Padman, Laurie, Levine, Murray D., Dillon, Thomas, Morison, James, and Pinkel, Robert

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...
