Observations of Internal Lee Wave Generation

Abstract

My interests are in oceanic phenomena that contribute to stirring and mixing with the ultimate goal of parameterizing their impact on larger scales through dynamical understanding. Phenomena of interest range from the mesoscale (10 km) to the microscale (1 cm), with an emphasis on their interactions, and include internal waves, tides, potential-vorticity-carrying fine-structure (vortical mode), turbulence and double diffusion.
