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 …

Fine-and microstructure observations indicate bottom-intensified turbulent dissipation above
rough bathymetry associated with internal wave breaking. Simple analytic representations …

Motivated by the importance of diapycnal mixing parameterizations in large-scale ocean
general circulation models, we provide a detailed analysis of high-Reynolds-number mixing …

of Physical Oceanography Volume 40 Issue 9 (2010) Jump to Content Jump to Main Navigation …

Mooring data collected on the continental slope of the South China Sea show that along‐
slope deep sea bottom currents are generated when large spring internal tides (internal …

We examine the possible existence of internal gravity wave “turning depths,” depths below
which the local buoyancy frequency N (z) becomes smaller than the wave frequency. At a …

Abstract 'Eleven months' current meter observations from the deep Bay of Biscay were
examined for the residual (incoherent internal tidal; icIT) signal, left after harmonic analysis …

A numerical study based on large eddy simulation (LES) is performed to investigate near‐
bottom mixing processes in an internal wave beam over a critical slope. Transition to …

Shallow water oscillatory flows and deep ocean steady flows have both been observed to
give rise to breaking internal lee waves downstream of steep seafloor obstacles. A recent …
