Unpredictability of internal M2
Current observations from a shelf sea, continental slopes and the abyssal North-East Atlantic Ocean are all dominated by the semidiurnal lunar (M2) tide. It is shown that motions at M2 vary at usually large barotropic and coherent baroclinic scales, >50 km horizontally and >0.5 H vertically. H represents the waterdepth. Such M2-scales are observed even close to topography, the potential source ...
متن کاملNonlinear Internal Tide Generation at the Luzon Strait: Integrating Laboratory Data with Numerics and Observations
Ongoing advances in laboratory experimental techniques have greatly enhanced the ability to obtained detailed spatiotemporal data for internal waves in challenging regimes. The long-term goal of this research is to use the latest experimental techniques to investigate internal wave dynamics relevant to the Luzon Strait in a custom configured wave tank; and to integrate these results with data o...
متن کاملThe Disintegration (or Not) of the Nonlinear Internal Tide
The objectives are to use a combination of theoretical and numerical models to study the evolution of the internal tide and its possible disintegration into internal solitary waves. A central aspect of this work is to explore the role of rotation in the process. Rotation permits the presence of periodic, nonlinear inertia-gravity waves (i.e., the tide) that can act as attractors and arrest the ...
متن کاملNonlinear Internal Tide Generation at the Luzon Strait: Integrating Laboratory Data with Numerics and Observation
The experimental approach is to utilize a custom-designed and state-of-the-art wave tank facility to study internal wave tide generation by different topographic features in dynamical regimes that are relevant to Luzon. This is complemented by analytical studies that utilize a Green-function approach to predict the internal tides generated by nominally two-dimensional topographic features. Wher...
متن کاملRunning head: CAUSAL INFERENCES FROM LONGITUDINAL DATA
Analyses of passive longitudinal data can yield causally relevant evidence only to the extent that plausible alternative explanations are ruled out. This study compared the ability of five types of longitudinal analyses to correct for selection biases confounded with corrective interventions, using a cohort of 1464 4and 5-year-olds from Canadian NLSCY data. Three lines of evidence indicated tha...
