TL;DR: In this article, two deep ocean hotspots of turbulent mixing were found over the Oregon continental slope, and Thorpe-scale analyses indicate time-averaged turbulent energy dissipation rates of e > 10−7 W/kg and eddy diffusivities of Kρ ∼ 10−2 m2/s at both hotspots.

TL;DR: The history of the global Argo Program, from its aspiration arising out of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment, to the development and implementation of its instrumentation and telecommunication systems, and the various technical problems encountered, is described in this article.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 40-day moored deployment spans three spring and two neap tides, during which the proportions of the locally and remotely forced internal tides vary vary, and energy flux exhibits complex spatial and temporal patterns throughout both tidal periods.

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical framework for low-wavenumber energy transfer is derived from "flat bottom" vertical modes and evaluated with observations from the Oregon continental slope, where local tidal dynamics are modeled with a superposition of two idealized numerical simulations, one forced by local surface-tide velocities and the other by an obliquely incident internal tide generated at the Mendocino Escarpment 315 km southwest of the study site.

TL;DR: In this article, an internal standing wave in Mamala Bay, Hawaii is studied using new observations and the Princeton Ocean Model (POM) using new energy flux measurements with shipboard ADCP/CTD confirm that Makapuu Point is the eastern source.
