Internal Tide Generation by Steep Topography

Abstract

Our interests are in oceanic processes that contribute to stirring and mixing in order to understand their impact on larger scales. This includes phenomena ranging from the mesoscale (10-100 km) to the microscale (1 cm). Of particular interest is how these various processes interact to produce turbulence and mixing with a particular focus on internal waves.
