Remote sensing evidence for baroclinic tide origin of internal solitary waves in the northeastern South China Sea
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented evidence for baroclinic tide origin of internal solitary waves (ISWs) in the northeastern South China Sea, based on 116 internal wave packets observed in satellite images from 1995 to 2001.

TL;DR: Recent progress in developing, implementing and testing dynamics-based parameterizations for internal-wave driven turbulent mixing in global ocean models are reviewed, the tools developed are described, and future directions are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global Observations of Open-Ocean Mode-1 M2Internal Tides
TL;DR: In this paper, a global map of open-ocean mode-1 M2 internal tides is constructed using sea surface height (SSH) measurements from multiple satellite altimeters during 1992-2012, representing a 20-yr coherent internal tide field.

TL;DR: In this paper, the long-range propagation of the semidiurnal internal tide northward from the Hawaiian ridge and its susceptibility to parametric subharmonic instability (PSI) at the critical latitude, λc = 28.8°N, were examined in spring 2006 with intensive shipboard and moored observations spanning 25-37°N along a tidal beam.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-Range Propagation of the Semidiurnal Internal Tide from the Hawaiian Ridge
TL;DR: In this article, the northeastward progression of the semidiurnal internal tide from French Frigate Shoals (FFS), Hawaii, is studied with an array of six simultaneous profiling moorings spanning 25.5°-37.1°N (≈1400 km) and 13-yr-long Ocean Topography Experiment (TOPEX)/Poseidon (T/P) altimeter data processed by a new technique.
