▪ Abstract The coexistence in the deep ocean of a finite, stable stratification, a strong
meridional overturning circulation, and mesoscale eddies raises complex questions …

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 …

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 …

This book was first published in 2005. When an oceanic tidal wave that is primarily active on
the water surface passes an ocean shelf or a region with a seamount, it is split into a less …

The energy flux out of barotropic tides and into internal waves (“conversion”) is computed
using a global domain multi-layer numerical model. The solution is highly baroclinic and …

Observations and inverse models suggest that small-scale turbulent mixing is enhanced in
the Southern Ocean in regions above rough topography. The enhancement extends O (1) …

Observations of turbulence, internal waves, and subinertial flow were made over a steep,
corrugated continental slope off Virginia during May–June 1998. At semidiurnal frequencies …

A direct computation of the tidal generation of internal waves over the global ocean is
presented. It is based on linear wave theory and high‐resolution data for the bottom …

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 …
