Internal Tide Generation in the Indonesian Seas

Abstract

The long-term goal is to characterize the internal tides in the Indonesian Seas and determine how they may vary seasonally and interannually as the thermocline structure changes. Our primary objective is to provide reliable estimates for the barotropic and baroclinic tides in the Indonesian Seas. We intend to determine: 1) specifically where in the Indonesian Seas baroclinic tides are generated and propagated, and, if time allows, 2) the effect of the seasonally and ENSO driven North Pacific versus South Pacific thermohaline structures on internal tide generation.
