Variability and forcing of the East Australian Current
[1] The spatial and temporal variability of the East Australian Current (EAC) is investigated using 6 years (1993–1998) of surface geostrophic stream function from an optimal interpolation of altimeter sea surface heights and velocities derived from tracking thermal features in satellite imagery. Variability appears as a series of cyclones and anticyclones propagating southwestward and westward...
متن کاملSome nonlinear internal equatorial waves with a strong underlying current
We describe an exact solution of the nonlinear governing equations for the internal equatorial water waves with an underlying current in the f -plane approximation near the equator. Thesewaves travel westward at a constant speed, and a strong uniform horizontal current underlies the flow. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
متن کاملNonlinear internal waves in the South China Sea: Observation of the conversion of depression internal waves to elevation internal waves
[1] The conversion of depression nonlinear internal solitons to elevation internal waves has been observed twice at the South China Sea continental shelf break. Shipboard X-band radar, tow-yo CTD, ADCP and high frequency acoustic flow visualization of the process are presented. The data focuses on up slope propagation of depression internal solitons from a water depth of 264 m to a water depth ...
متن کاملAlong-Slope Current Generation by Obliquely Incident Internal Waves
Numerical studies of internal wave reflection from sloping boundaries are presented. Previous work (Slinn and Riley, 1996, 1998a, 1998b, 1999) has restricted attention to internal waves that approach the bottom slope in a plane normal to the boundary (normal incidence). This work extends the scope of the three-dimensional time-dependent numerical experiments to examine internal waves that appro...
متن کاملCan near-inertial internal waves in the East Sea be observed by synthetic aperture radar?
[1] Near-inertial ( 18 hours) internal waves were observed in the mid-western part of the East Sea on May 18 and 19, 2004 using C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. Current and temperature measurements obtained during the field experiment from 10 May to 9 June 2004 (IWXES2004, Internal Wave eXperiment in the East Sea), were analyzed to investigate the processes by which near-inertial i...
