Toward regional characterizations of the oceanic internal wavefield

KL Polzin, YV Lvov - Reviews of geophysics, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Many major oceanographic internal wave observational programs of the last 4 decades are
reanalyzed in order to characterize variability of the deep ocean internal wavefield. The …

Climate process team on internal wave–driven ocean mixing

JA MacKinnon, Z Zhao, CB Whalen… - Bulletin of the …, 2017 - journals.ametsoc.org
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 wave-balance exchanges in the ocean

J Thomas - Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 2023 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Oceanic flows are turbulent and multi-scale in nature, and are composed of fast internal
waves and slowly evolving balanced eddies. Contrary to conventional wisdom in physical …

Interpreting energy and tracer spectra of upper-ocean turbulence in the submesoscale range (1–200 km)

J Callies, R Ferrari - Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2013 - journals.ametsoc.org
Abstract Submesoscale (1–200 km) wavenumber spectra of kinetic and potential energy and
tracer variance are obtained from in situ observations in the Gulf Stream region and in the …

Observation of gravity-capillary wave turbulence

E Falcon, C Laroche, S Fauve - Physical review letters, 2007 - APS
We report the observation of the crossover between gravity and capillary wave turbulence
on the surface of mercury. The probability density functions of the turbulent wave height are …

Internal wave turbulence in a stratified fluid with and without eigenmodes of the experimental domain

N Lanchon, DO Mora, E Monsalve, PP Cortet - Physical Review Fluids, 2023 - APS
We present laboratory experiments on turbulence in a linearly stratified fluid driven by an
ensemble of internal gravity waves which approaches statistical homogeneity and …

Preliminary simulations of internal waves and mixing generated by finite amplitude tidal flow over isolated topography

S Legg, KMH Huijts - Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in …, 2006 - Elsevier
Much recent observational evidence suggests that energy from the barotropic tides can be
used for mixing in the deep ocean. Here the process of internal-tide generation and …

Energy spectra of nonlocal internal gravity wave turbulence

N Lanchon, PP Cortet - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Starting from the classical formulation of the weak turbulence theory in a density stratified
fluid, we derive a simplified version of the kinetic equation of internal gravity wave …

On spectral scaling laws for incompressible anisotropic magnetohydrodynamic turbulence

S Galtier, A Pouquet, A Mangeney - Physics of Plasmas, 2005 - pubs.aip.org
A heuristic model is given for anisotropic magnetohydrodynamics turbulence in the
presence of a uniform external magnetic field B 0 e ̂‖⁠. The model is valid for both …

Rogue internal waves in the ocean: long wave model

R Grimshaw, E Pelinovsky, T Taipova… - The European Physical …, 2010 - Springer
Rogue waves can be categorized as unexpectedly large waves, which are temporally and
spatially localized. They have recently received much attention in the water wave context …
