Turbulent mixing from breaking oceanic internal waves drives a vertical transport of water,
heat and other climatically important tracers in the ocean, thereby playing an important role …

Internal tides are internal gravity waves generated in stratified waters by the interaction of
barotropic tidal currents with variable bottom topography. They play a role in dissipating tidal …

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 …

The authors present inferences of diapycnal diffusivity from a compilation of over 5200
microstructure profiles. As microstructure observations are sparse, these are supplemented …

The subject of ocean turbulence is in a state of discovery and development with many
intellectual challenges. This book describes the principal dynamic processes that control the …

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 wave–wave interaction theories and observations support a parameterization for the
turbulent dissipation rate ε and eddy diffusivity K that depends on internal wave shear〈 V z …

Vertical mixing is often regarded as the Achilles' heel of ocean models. In particular, few
models include a comprehensive and energy‐constrained parameterization of mixing by …

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 …

Internal-wave-driven dissipation rates ε and diapycnal diffusivities K are inferred globally
using a finescale parameterization based on vertical strain applied to~ 30 000 hydrographic …
