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 …

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 …

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 …
