Abstract

Contents: Internal Wave Shear and Dissipation; Internal Wave Dissipation in a Non-Garrett-Munk Ocean; Testing the Critical Reflection Hypothesis; Observations of Near-Inertial Internal Waves and Mixing in the Seasonal Thermocline; On the Statistics of Fine Scale Strain in the Thermocline; Spatial Structure of Thermocline and Abyssal Internal Waves; Estimates of Small- Scale Horizontal Divergence and Relative Vorticity in the Ocean; Measurements of Ertel Vorticity Fine structure in the Eastern North Atlantic; Symmetry Preserving Mode Truncations of Inviscid Geophysical Fluid Dynamical Equations; Weak Wave and Vortex Interactions, Internal Wave-Wave Resonance Theory: Fundamentals and Limitations; Choosing Variables for internal Wave Dynamics; Is Scattering or Reflection More Effective in Causing Boundary Mixing; On the Exchange of Energy Between Surface and Internal Wave Fields; The Saturation of Middle-Atmosphere Gravity Waves; Diagnosing Diapycnal Mixing; Energy Transfers Across an Internal Wave/Vortical Mode Spectrum; Large-Eddy Simulation of Internal Wave Motions; Numerical Modeling of the Large-Scale Dynamics of Internal Waves; Parameterizing Mixing in Inverse Models; Oceanic Model Testing; and Acoustic Implications of a New Model.
