Internal Bores and Breaking Internal Tides on the Oregon Continental Slope

Creator:

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

Abstract:

Observations of breaking internal tides on the Oregon continental slope during a 40-day deployment of 5 moorings along 43°12'N are presented. Remotely generated internal tides shoal onto the slope, steepen, break, and form turbulent bores that propagate upslope independently of the internal tide. A high-resolution snapshot of a single bore...

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...
