Internal Waves and Mixing in the Upper Equatorial Pacific Ocean

一个庞大而独特的数据集是在一系列 在赤道太平洋进行的实验（热带高温） 在1984年到1987年间。测量包括密集的 微结构分布、平均电流分布和热敏电阻链 内波的观察持续分析的重点是 上部内波与湍流的相互作用 赤道太平洋据推测，高频混频 内波主导了该区域的垂直通量。

A large and unique data set was collected during a series of experiments conducted in the equatorial Pacific (TROPIC HEAT) between 1984 and 1987. The measurements consisted of intensive microstructure profiles, mean current profiles and thermistor chain observations of internal waves. The continuing analysis focusses on the interaction between internal waves and turbulence in the upper equatorial Pacific. It is postulated that mixing by high-frequency internal waves dominates the vertical fluxes in this region.
