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 …

Internal waves occur nearly ubiquitously in lakes and oceans yet their sedimentary records
remain largely unrecognized. Waves propagate at the interface between fluids of different …

Diapycnal mixing plays a primary role in the thermodynamic balance of the ocean and,
consequently, in oceanic heat and carbon uptake and storage. Though observed mixing …

Turbulent mixing in the ocean is key to regulate the transport of heat, freshwater and
biogeochemical tracers, with strong implications for Earth's climate. In the deep ocean, tides …

Active deepening of tidal channels usually results in the alteration of the vertical and the
horizontal tide. This may lead to concurrent significant increases in mean suspended matter …

The ocean interior stratification and meridional overturning circulation are largely sustained
by diapycnal mixing. The breaking of internal tides is a major source of diapycnal mixing …

The nonhydrostatic Regional Ocean Modeling System is applied to the nonlinear internal
waves, or solitons, that are generated at the Luzon ridge in the South China Sea. The Luzon …

Barotropic to baroclinic conversion and attendant phenomena were recently examined at
the Kaena Ridge as an aspect of the Hawaii Ocean Mixing Experiment. Two distinct mixing …

A strong internal tide is generated in the Luzon Strait that radiates westward to impact the
continental shelf of the South China Sea. Mooring data in 1500-m depth on the continental …

A detailed energy analysis of the barotropic and baroclinic M 2 tides in the Monterey Bay
area is performed. The authors first derive a theoretical framework for analyzing internal tide …
