Mesoscale Eddy -- Internal Wave Coupling. III. The End of the Enstrophy Cascade and Maintenance of Gyre Scale Potential Vorticity Gradients
Kurt L. Polzin, Giovanni Dematteis
We assess a prognostic formulation of triple coherence relating to energy exchange between mesoscale eddies and the internal wavefield and compare with observations from the Sargas…
Interacting internal waves explain global patterns of interior ocean mixing
Giovanni Dematteis, Arnaud Le Boyer, Friederike Pollmann +4
Across the stable density stratification of the abyssal ocean, deep dense water is slowly propelled upward by sustained, though irregular, turbulent mixing. The resulting mean upwe…
A One-Dimensional Model for Investigating Scale-separated Approaches to the Interaction of Oceanic Internal Waves
Kurt L Polzin, Yuri V Lvov
High-frequency wave propagation in near-inertial wave shear has been considered fundamental in setting the spectral character of the oceanic internal wave continuum and for transpo…
Toward Regional Characterizations of the Oceanic Internal Wavefield
Kurt L. Polzin, Yuri V. Lvov
Many major oceanographic internal wave observational programs of the last 4 decades are reanalyzed in order to characterize variability of the deep ocean internal wavefield. The ob…
