Internal waves are important physical phenomena on the continental shelf/slope. They are
often very energetic, and their breaking provides an important dissipation and mixing …

Exchange of material across the nearshore region, extending from the shoreline to a few
kilometers offshore, determines the concentrations of pathogens and nutrients near the …

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 …

Large-amplitude internal waves induce currents and turbulence in the bottom boundary
layer (BBL) and are thus a key driver of sediment movement on the continental margins …

This book presents the author's study of the properties of internal tides. The experimental
data that were used in this research were collected during experiments aimed at studying …

Abstract In the South China Sea (SCS), 14 nonlinear internal waves are detected as they
transit a synchronous array of 10 moorings spanning the waves' generation site at Luzon …

Five large-amplitude internal solitary waves (ISWs) propagating westward on the upper
continental slope in the northern South China Sea were observed in May–June 2011 with …

SINCE THE END of the Cold War, the US Navy has had an increasing interest in continental
shelves and slopes as operational areas. To work in such areas requires a good …

Twelve days of microstructure measurements at the equator (140° W) in November 1984
showed a surprisingly strong effect of both the daily cycle of solar heating and wind on …

Packets of nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) in a small area of the Mid-Atlantic Bight were
10 times more energetic during a local neap tide than during the preceding spring tide. This …
