From tides to mixing along the Hawaiian ridge.
The cascade from tides to turbulence has been hypothesized to serve as a major energy pathway for ocean mixing. We investigated this cascade along the Hawaiian Ridge using observations and numerical models. A divergence of internal tidal energy flux observed at the ridge agrees with the predictions of internal tide models. Large internal tidal waves with peak-to-peak amplitudes of up to 300 met...
متن کاملAn Antarctic oceanographic section along 17&E*
The circulation pattern of Antarctic and sub-Antarctic waters is strongly influenced by the complex marine topography south of New Zealand. The distribution of water characteristics indicates that the Antarctic Circumpolar Current undergoes intense wave-like migrations, which may be transient in nature, apparently associated with the Macquarie Ridge and Campbell Plateau. The bulk of the circump...
متن کاملMicrozooplankton community composition along the Western Antarctic Peninsula
Microzooplankton are an integral part of aquatic food webs, yet compared to macrozooplankton, are understudied in the Southern Ocean. The region along the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is experiencing rapid climate warming, resulting in declines in sea ice extent and duration, and affecting the marine food web. Microzooplankton community structure along the WAP was analyzed in January 2010 ...
متن کاملCross–Shelf Exchange Along the Antarctic Continental Margin: Modeling Results
The shelf areas around the Antarctic Continent are locations of dense water formation; part of these water masses ventilate the adjacent deep ocean basins and enter the global thermohaline circulation. This paper takes a look at regional differences of shelf sea–deep ocean exchange in high southern latitudes (mainly between the Weddell and Ross Seas), highlights a few physical mechanisms potent...
متن کاملA high-resolution synthetic bed elevation grid of the Antarctic continent
Digital elevation models of Antarctic bed topography are smoothed and interpolated onto lowresolution ( > 1 km) grids as current observed topography data are generally sparsely and unevenly sampled. This issue has potential implications for numerical simulations of ice-sheet dynamics, especially in regions prone to instability where detailed knowledge of the topography, including fine-scale rou...
