WebJan 9, 2007 · The fact that turbulent mixing is locally enhanced along a beam of internal tides has been reported in many previous studies (Lueck and Mudge, 1997;Lien and Gregg, 2001;Tang et al., 2024). WebJul 17, 2003 · The cascade from tides to turbulence has been hypothesized to serve as a major energy pathway for ocean mixing. We investigated this cascade along the Hawaiian Ridge using observations and numerical models. A divergence of internal tidal energy flux observed at the ridge agrees with the predictions of internal tide models. Large internal …

WebThe two-dimensional far-field conversion C ± , where ‘−’ corresponds to west and ‘+’ to east, was calculated for cross-sections A, B and C using the same parameters as for the Hawaiian Ridge (i.e. the semidiurnal tide), with the exception of U = 5 cm s−1 (Niwa & Hibiya 2004; Chao et al. 2007; Jan, Lien & Ting 2008). WebApr 1, 2003 · In the Nearfield, internal tides generated over the ridge have a distinct vertical propagation, vary enormously in strength and become more non-linear from neap to spring. strftime \u0027 s\u0027 invalid format string
From Tides to Mixing Along the Hawaiian Ridge
WebMar 1, 2007 · Abstract The Hawaiian Ridge is one of the most energetic generators of internal tides in the pelagic ocean.

This is shown in Figure 1. The radiated power was estimated at 0.015 TW. So 14 Hawaiian chains will radiate 0.2 TW, enough to power the pelagic mixing associated with κ pelagic =10 −5 m 2 s −1.
