Internal Wave Energy Budget Studies in the South China Sea
We are focused on understanding small-scale processes that influence the ocean’s thermodynamic and dynamic properties on the sub-mesoscale (scales less than 10 km). This includes the role of turbulence in modifying the upper ocean temperature and density structure. In the South China Sea, largeamplitude, nonlinear waves force turbulence in the seasonally variable continental shelf region. New o...
متن کاملEnergy cascade in internal wave attractors
One of the pivotal questions in the dynamics of the oceans is related to the cascade of mechanical energy in the abyss and its contribution to mixing. Here, we propose a unique self-consistent experimental and numerical set up that models a cascade of triadic interactions transferring energy from large-scale monochromatic input to multiscale internal wave motion. We also provide, for the first ...
متن کاملExperiments on Internal Wave Resonance in Periodically Forced Lakes
Laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the steady state internal wave response of a periodically forced long and narrow lake. The system is two-layer stratified and is subjected to periodic forcing over a wide frequency range. The ratio of the forcing frequency (f) to horizontal mode-one (H1) internal seiche frequency (fH1) governs the system response. For f ≥ 2fH1, highermode inter...
متن کاملInternal wave effects on photosynthesis: Experiments, theory, and modeling
Using field experiments and mathematical models, we tested whether internal waves enhance photosynthesis as they move phytoplankton through a nonlinear light field in situations where photosynthesis is light limited. Phytoplankton circulated at depths mimicking isotherm displacement for moderate wind speeds had elevated photosynthetic rates compared to static incubations. Experiments and modeli...
