Internal Wave Climate: Shelf to Deep Ocean
Abstract
The long-range goal of this research is to understand the variation in the kinematics and dynamics of the internal wave field from the deep ocean to the continental slope and shelf. Specific objectives of this project include: formulating an improved statistical description of the internal wave field, and understanding the flux of energy into and through the littoral zone. Knowledge of the internal wave field is important to understand and model mixing and turbulent dissipation, and to predict fluctuations in acoustical propagation and optical properties.
