Enhanced generation of internal tides under global warming [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsA primary driver of deep-ocean mixing is breaking of internal tides generated via interactions of barotropic tides with topography. It is important to understand how the energy conversion from barotropic to internal tides responds to global warming. Here

Deep-ocean mixing driven by small-scale internal tides [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 The geography of deep-ocean mixing driven by internal tides is poorly constrained in ocean models. Here the authors unveil the global variability of energetic small-scale internal tides, combining an analytical model with satellite and in situ ...

Ocean internal tides suppress tropical cyclones in the South China Sea [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsTropical Cyclones (TCs) are devastating natural disasters. Analyzing four decades of global TC data, here we find that among all global TC-active basins, the South China Sea (SCS) stands out as particularly difficult ocean for TCs to intensify, despite ...

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 In this paper, the M2 internal tides (ITs) originating from the continental slope in the South China Sea are studied using the CROCO model. The simulation results show that there are two origins of ITs on the continental slope: at 118°–119.5° E along 22°

Distinct Variability between Semidiurnal and Diurnal Internal Tides at the East China Sea Shelf
Remote Sensing, 2022 Breaking internal tides and induced mixing are critical to shelf dynamics, including heat and mass exchanges. Spatiotemporal variability of internal tides and modulation factors for the southern East China Sea shelf were examined based on a combination ...

Seasonal M2 Internal Tides in the Arabian Sea
Remote Sensing, 2021 Internal tides play a crucial role in ocean mixing. To explore the seasonal features of mode-1 M2 internal tides in the Arabian Sea, we analyzed their propagation and energy distribution using along-track sea-level anomaly data collected by satellite ...

Effects of the Kuroshio on internal tides in the Luzon Strait: A model study
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Internal tides have a great impact on the meridional overturning circulation and climate variability through contributing to diapycnal mixing. The Luzon Strait (LS) is one of the most important sites of internal tide generation in the global ocean.

Numerical simulations of generation and propagation of internal tides in the Andaman Sea
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The generation and propagation of internal tides in the Andaman Sea are investigated using a three-dimensional high-resolution numerical model. Three categories of experiments, including driving the model with four main semidiurnal tides (M2, S2, N2, and

Resonant Diurnal Internal Tides in the North Atlantic: 2. Modeling
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 An unconstrained global ocean simulation for 2020 supports past observations of diurnal internal tides by acoustic tomography during the 1991–1992 Acoustic Mid‐Ocean Dynamics Experiment in the Western North Atlantic.
