Abyssal Shear and Internal Tidal Beams near Mendocino Escarpment

桑福德 OCE-952735 Roguh斜压潮产生的实验研究 底部地形将在门迪奇诺陡崖进行， 俄勒冈州海岸。其随后的传播和演变沿着潮汐梁 将在两周内进行跟踪，并在 将对粗糙地形上的深海沃茨进行表征。这些 通过收集速度和密度， 整个水柱的剖面图这项研究还将测试 内潮发生和内波备选汇 能量，并将比较深海剪切和 标准Garrett-Munk内波模型。

Sanford OCE-952735 An experimental study on the generation of the baroclinic tide over roguh botom topography will be conducted at the Mendicino Escarpment, off the Oregon coast. Its subsequent propagation and evolution along tidal beams will be followed over a fortnight, and the fine-scale internal wave field in abyssal waters over rough topography will be characterized. These objectives will be met observationally by collecting velocity and density profiles over the full water column. This research will also test models of internal tide generation and alternate proposed sinks for internal wave energy and will compare vertical wavenumber spectra for abyssal shear and strain to the standard Garrett-Munk internal wave model.
