Internal wave energy radiated from a turbulent mixed layer
We examine mixed-layer deepening and the generation of internal waves in stratified fluid resulting from turbulence that develops in response to an applied surface stress. In laboratory experiments the stress is applied over the breadth of a finite-length tank by a moving roughened conveyor belt. The turbulence in the shear layer is characterized using particle image velocimetry to measure the ...
متن کاملInternal Wave Turbulence Near a Texel Beach
A summer bather entering a calm sea from the beach may sense alternating warm and cold water. This can be felt when moving forward into the sea ('vertically homogeneous' and 'horizontally different'), but also when standing still between one's feet and body ('vertically different'). On a calm summer-day, an array of high-precision sensors has measured fast temperature-changes up to 1 °C near a ...
متن کاملWhere is the surface-layer turbulence?
Remote turbulence sensing in the first 100m above ground using lunar scintillation has revealed that the seeing measured by regular site monitors can be over-estimated. This explains the well-known discrepancy between the VLT image quality and the seeing measured by the DIMM at Paranal. The concept of ”site seeing” needs to be critically reviewed, considering strong dependence of this parameter...
متن کاملWeak compressibility of surface wave turbulence
We study the growth of small-scale inhomogeneities of the density of particles floating in weakly nonlinear, small-amplitude, surface waves. Despite the amplitude smallness, the accumulated effect of the long-time evolution may produce strongly inhomogeneous distribution of the floaters: density fluctuations grow exponentially with a small but finite exponent. We show that the exponent is of si...
متن کاملWave Boundary Layer Turbulence over Surface Waves in a Strongly Forced Condition
Accurate predictions of the sea state–dependent air–sea momentum flux require a thorough understanding of the wave boundary layer turbulence over surface waves. A set of momentum and energy equations is derived to formulate and analyze wave boundary layer turbulence. The equations are written in wavefollowing coordinates, and all variables are decomposed into horizontalmean, wave fluctuation, a...
