  • Estimating the in situ Stratification via Remotely-sensed Internal Wave Speeds

    Creator:
    Fang, Chufan
    Abstract:
    This work investigates a methodology for estimating the ocean stratification gradient based on high-resolution, in space and time, remote sensing observations of internal wave propagation speeds. The internal wave speed observations were collected using a shore-based, X-band marine radar and the ocean vertical density profiles were collected simultaneously from an...

  • Tidal-band and high-frequency internal variability on the central Oregon inner shelf

    Creator:
    Suanda, Sutara H.
    Abstract:
    Analogous to ocean surface waves, waves in the ocean interior also experience steepening, breaking, and dissipation as they approach the coastline. Much less is known about this internal beach. In this work, extensive moored Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler and temperature/salinity data together with optical remote sensing are combined to describe...

  • Nonlinear internal waves on the continental shelf

    Creator:
    Shroyer, Emily L.
    Abstract:
    The properties and evolution of nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) depend upon the background conditions within which waves form, propagate, and dissipate. As a result, the NLIW field on the New Jersey shelf displayed dramatic variability during the Shallow Water 2006 experiment. Wave variability was exhibited by 1) amplitudes that ranged...
