Nonlinear internal waves in the South China Sea: Observation of the conversion of depression internal waves to elevation internal waves [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2003 The conversion of depression nonlinear internal solitons to elevation internal waves has been observed twice at the South China Sea continental shelf break. Shipboard X‐band radar, tow‐yo CTD, ADCP and high frequency acoustic flow visualization of the process are presented. The data focuses on up slope propagation of depression internal solitons from a

Late monsoon threatens coral refugia in the Andaman Sea
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Internal waves (IWs) mitigate thermal stress and provide refugia for corals against increasingly frequent mass bleaching. However, climate events may bring uncertainty regarding the resistance of such refugia.

Internal Wave Interferometry [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2010 Internal waves are a ubiquitous and significant means of momentum and energy transport in the oceans, atmosphere, and astrophysical bodies. Here, we show that internal wave propagation in nonuniform density stratifications, which are prevalent throughout nature, has a direct mathematical analogy with the classical optical problem of a Fabry-Perot ...

Inversion of the Full-Depth Temperature Profile Based on Few Depth-Fixed Temperatures
Remote Sensing, 2022 Seawater temperature plays a key role in underwater acoustics and marine fishery, etc. In oceanographic surveys, it is often desirable to detect the temperature profile and obtain its spatio-temporal variation.

Turbulent Heat Fluxes in a Mediterranean Eddy Quantified Using Seismic and Hydrographic Observations
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Mediterranean eddies (meddies) play an essential role in transferring heat, salinity and momentum into the Atlantic Ocean. The rate of heat (and salt) flux from the meddy and its ultimate lifetime are key proxies to understanding how meddies impact the ...

Airborne Observations of Shoaling and Breaking Internal Waves
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Internal waves (IW) are crucial contributors to the transport of sediment, heat, and nutrients in coastal areas. While IW have been extensively studied using point measurements, their spatial variability is less well understood.

Internal Waves and Waves of Sand [PDF]
Nature, 1960 A DESCRIPTION has been given of some large sand waves on La Chapelle Bank which lie parallel to the general direction of the edge of the continental shelf1. They occur within a zone about 10 miles wide, have a mean separation of 2,800 ft. and are up to 40 ft. high.
