Coupling between sub-mesoscale eddies, internal waves, and turbulence in the deep Mediterranean: A spectral investigation
Hans van Haren
Interaction between energy-abundant (sub-)mesoscale eddies and internal waves can lead to turbulence generation and may prove important for replenishment of nutrients for deep-sea…
Heat-flash travel just above a deep Mediterranean seafloor
Hans van Haren
The deep sea is weakly stratified in density but shows considerable variations in turbulent motions in all three directions. When registered by moored high-resolution temperature '…
Deep Mediterranean turbulence motions under near-homogeneous conditions
Hans van Haren
Very weakly density-stratified, near-homogeneous 'NH' conditions are found in the deep Western Mediterranean Sea. Under these conditions, over vertical ranges of several hundreds o…
Deep Mediterranean turbulence motions under stratified-water conditions
Hans van Haren
Vertically stable in density, stratified-water conditions 'SW' exist in the deep Mediterranean Sea that are characterized by temperature differences of 0.0002-0.01degrC over 125 m…
Stratified-turbulence observations in the deep Mediterranean
Hans van Haren
A nearly half-cubic hectometer of deep Mediterranean-Sea waters is yearlong sampled with about 3000 high-resolution temperature sensors to study different sources of turbulent wate…
Turbulence demonstrates height variations in closely spaced deep-sea mooring lines
Hans van Haren
It may be important to precisely know heights of moored oceanographic instrumentation. For example, moorings can be closely spaced or accidentally be located on small rocks or in s…
Tidal motions in the deep Mediterranean
Hans van Haren
The Mediterranean Sea is known for its limited tidal motions. For example, surface barotropic tidal elevations have an amplitude of 0.1 m in the Northwestern Mediterranean. Neverth…
Intrusions and turbulent mixing above a small Eastern Mediterranean seafloor-slope
Hans van Haren
Growing evidence is found in observations and numerical modelling of the importance of steep seafloor topography for turbulent diapycnal mixing leading to redistribution of suspend…
Direct observations of general geothermal convection in deep Mediterranean waters
Hans van Haren
Like elsewhere in the deep-sea, life in the deep Mediterranean depends on turbulent exchange across the stable vertical density stratification for supply of nutrients and oxygen. C…
