Numerical and Analytical Estimates of M2 Tidal Conversion at Steep Oceanic Ridges
Numerical calculations of the rate at which energy is converted from the external to internal tides at steep oceanic ridges are compared with estimates from analytic theories. The numerical calculations are performed using a hydrostatic primitive equation ocean model that uses a generalized s-coordinate system as the vertical coordinate. The model [Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS)] estimat...
متن کاملTidal conversion at a very steep ridge
where ρ0 is the mean density of seawater, U cos(ωt) the tidal velocity, and f the Coriolis frequency. The function M(b/h) increases monotonically with M(0)= 1, M(0.92)= 2 and M(1)=∞. As b/h→ 1, M diverges logarithmically and consequently the radiated power grows as ln[(h − b)/b]. We also calculate the conversion in a realistically stratified ocean with strongly non-uniform buoyancy frequency, N...
متن کاملOceanic age and transient tracers: Analytical and numerical solutions
[1] Transient tracers and the closely related ‘‘age’’ tracers exhibit a rich physical and mathematical structure even for problems of one space dimension. This richness tends to make interpretation of observations, which are inevitably thin in both space and time, difficult, in contrast to the situation in modeling studies. At least six different timescales and corresponding space scales can ap...
متن کاملTidal Conversion at a Submarine Ridge
The radiative flux of internal wave energy (the “tidal conversion”) powered by the oscillating flow of a uniformly stratified fluid over a two-dimensional submarine ridge is computed using an integral-equation method. The problem is characterized by two nondimensional parameters, A and B. The first parameter, A, is the ridge half-width scaled by h, where h is the uniform depth of the ocean far ...
متن کاملThe quantum event of oceanic crustal accretion: impacts of diking at mid-ocean ridges.
Seafloor diking-eruptive events represent the irreducible, quantum events of upper oceanic crustal accretion. They record events by which a large portion of the oceanic crust has formed through geological history. Since 1993, the U.S. Navy's real-time Sound Surveillance System has allowed location of ongoing acoustic signatures of dike emplacement and basalt eruptions at ridge crests in the nor...
