Moored Observations of Nonlinear Internal Waves near DongSha
Abstract
I am interested in the general problems of internal waves and the ocean mixing. Knowledge of these is important for advancing the performance of operational and climate models, as well as for understanding local problems such as pollutant dispersal and biological productivity. In the specific case of this DRI's focus, i.e., nonlinear internal waves (NLIW), the waves' currents and displacements are strong enough to impact Navy operations such as diving, ROV operation and mine detection/removal.
