Small Mountainous Rivers Generate High-Frequency Internal Waves in Coastal Ocean

Preliminary Investigations on the Fate of Terrestrial Sediments in the Coastal Ocean Discharged From Taiwanese Small Mountainous Rivers

Modeling Internal Solitary Waves in the Coastal Ocean

In the coastal oceans, the interaction of currents (such as the barotropic tide) with topography can generate large-amplitude, horizontally propagating internal solitary waves. These waves often occur in regions where the waveguide properties vary in the direction of propagation. We consider the modeling of these waves by nonlinear evolution equations of the Korteweg-de Vries type with variable...

Oceanic export of relict carbon by small mountainous rivers

[1] Small mountainous rivers (SMR) export globally significant quantities of particulate organic carbon (POC) to the oceans, the composition of which may be distinct from POC delivered by major world rivers. To better constrain the controls on the DC signatures of POC suspended in SMR, we examined the temporal variability of DC and dC of POC suspended in the Santa Clara River, a SMR in Californ...

High-frequency internal waves in large stratified lakes

Observations are presented from Lake Biwa and Lake Kinneret showing the ubiquitous and often periodic nature of high-frequency internal waves in large stratified lakes. In both lakes, high-frequency wave events were observed within two distinct categories: (1) Vertical mode 1 solitary waves near a steepened Kelvin wave front and vertical mode 2 solitary waves at the head of an intrusive thermoc...
