Toward global maps of internal tide energy sinks

C de Lavergne, S Falahat, G Madec, F Roquet… - Ocean Modelling, 2019 - Elsevier
Internal tides power much of the observed small-scale turbulence in the ocean interior. To
represent mixing induced by this turbulence in ocean climate models, the cascade of …

Seasonal and spatial variations of Southern Ocean diapycnal mixing from Argo profiling floats

L Wu, Z **g, S Riser, M Visbeck - Nature Geoscience, 2011 - nature.com
Abstract The Southern Ocean is thought to be one of the most energetic regions in the
world's oceans. As a result, it is a location of vigorous diapycnal mixing of heat, salt and …

Significance of diapycnal mixing within the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation

L Cimoli, A Mashayek, HL Johnson… - Agu …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Diapycnal mixing shapes the distribution of climatically important tracers, such as heat and
carbon, as these are carried by dense water masses in the ocean interior. Here, we analyze …

Estimation of baroclinic tide energy available for deep ocean mixing based on three-dimensional global numerical simulations

Y Niwa, T Hibiya - Journal of oceanography, 2011 - Springer
