Abstract Space- and time-continuous seafloor temperature observations captured the three-dimensional structure of shoaling nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) off La Jolla, California. NLIWs were tracked for hundreds meters in cross- along-shelf directions using a fiber optic Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) array, complemented by an ocean-wave-powered vertical profiling mooring. Trains propa...

[1] This study analyzes the effects of thermocline shoaling on the ocean internal wave (IW) generation in the north South China Sea (NSCS). Seven years of satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images from 1995 to 2001 are used for the statistical analysis of IW occurrence, and field measurements of sea surface wind, sea state, and vertical temperature profiles are used for analyzing IW gener...

Previous studies have shown that guppies, Poecilia reticulata, can learn the route to a food source by shoaling with knowledgeable conspecifics, and prefer to shoal with experienced foragers and familiar fish. We tested the hypothesis that guppies would learn more effectively from (1) familiar than unfamiliar demonstrators and (2) well-trained than poorly trained demonstrators. Demonstrator fis...
