The Interaction of Nonlinear Internal Waves with Other Processes

Abstract

LONG-TERM GOALS: To understand and parameterize small-scale ocean processes. To understand the physical oceanography of straits and semi-enclosed seas. OBJECTIVES: To clarify and understand the dimensionless parameter space of internal tide generation. To elucidate and quantify the back effect on internal waves, and other motions, of refracted and breaking surface waves.
