Semidiurnal internal tides in eastern Bass Strait

Marine and Freshwater Research, 1983
Variations in the vertical thermal structure near the shelf break in eastern Bass Strait have been observed for a 1-year period during 1980-1981. For the periods when the water column was stratified, energetic oscillations of the thermocline were frequently observed, these being well correlated with the surface tide.

Simulation of surface and internal semidiurnal tides in the Kara Sea

Izvestiya, Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics, 2017
The problem of the dynamics of surface and internal waves M 2 in the Kara Sea is solved within the QUODDY-4 3D finite-element hydrostatic model. It is shown that the conventional concept of surface-tide wave generation due to the interaction of two tidal waves (one arrives from the Barents Sea and the other is generated in the Arctic Ocean (AO) and ...

Semidiurnal internal tides in Massachusetts Bay

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1971
Semidiurnal tidal internal gravity waves consisting of the first five modes account for over 50% of the fluctuations that occurred in temperature measurements made at fixed depths in Massachusetts Bay. The amplitude of the lowest mode is the largest, while that of the second mode is negligible. The minimum value of the Richardson number of the internal

Global Assessment of Semidiurnal Internal Tide Aliasing in Argo Profiles

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2019
AbstractThough unresolved by Argo floats, internal waves still impart an aliased signal onto their profile measurements. Recent studies have yielded nearly global characterization of several constituents of the stationary internal tides. Using this new information in conjunction with thousands of floats, we quantify the influence of the stationary ...

Energy of the semidiurnal internal tide from Argo data compared with theory

2022
<p><span>A global map of the amplitude of the semidiurnal internal tide at the 1000 dbar level, obtained from Argo park-phase data, is converted to depth-integrated energy density. As opposed to current satellite altimeter data, the high sampling rate of the floats enables the direct observation of the total wave field ...

Observations of the semidiurnal internal tide on the southern California slope and shelf

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2003
We give a detailed description of the semidiurnal‐band current and temperature variability observed during the Internal Waves on the Continental Margin (IWAVES) field experiments of 1996 and 1997 off of Mission Beach, California. This variability was dominated by the internal tide, and the structure of the internal tide on the slope and shelfbreak ...

Structure and variability of semidiurnal internal tides in Mamala Bay, Hawaii

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2004
Moored current meter and temperature observations and results from a three‐dimensional primitive equation model are used to examine the energetic semidiurnal internal tides present in Mamala Bay on the south coast of Oahu, Hawaii. The steady, harmonic component of the internal tide is characterized by large vertical displacements in the central region ...

Semidiurnal Internal Tides on the Continental Shelf off Abidjan

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1986
Abstract Important semidiurnal internal tides with a maximum displacement of isotherms of about 30 m were observed on the continental shelf, near the submarine canyon Trou-Sans-Fond off Abidjan, Ivory Coast. It is proposed from a two-layer submarine canyon model experiment that the observed internal tides could have been generated by an interaction ...
