Not too late to submit an application...
2 Overview 1. Most diapycnal (vertical) mixing in the ocean interior is due to breaking internal gravity waves 2. Mixing is patchy in space and time, reflecting the complex geography of internal wave generation, propagation, and dissipation. 3. Patchy mixing matters for ocean circulation and fluxes. It s important to get it right. 4. Our plan: use what we collectively know about internal wave physics to develop a dynamic parameterization of diapycnal mixing that can evolve in a changing climate.

6 The zoo of internal waves in the ocean Two frequencies dominate energetically Depth, z Near-inertial waves: often wind generated, have a frequency close to the local inertial frequency (latitude dependent) Horizontal distance (x,y) Internal Tides: generated by oscillatory tidal flow over topography.

9 Nearfield tidal mixing ocean bottom 1000 meters St Laurent et al 02 map of internal tide generation (Ubt, N) dissipation rate (related Tidal Energy Dissipated Near Topography, Aha Huliko a Proceedings, January 2003 to diffusivity) well et al., 2000), and the 3000-m isobath of the Hawaiian qe(x, y)f(z) = ρ Ridge (Kunze et al., 2002b). The latter was averaged from 16 stations spanning roughly 1000 km along the Hawaiian Ridge. These stations were occupied over a 3 week period during 2000 and capture energy flux radiated from both strong and weak sites of internal tide generation along the ridge. A profile from the Virginia Slope is also shown, as turbulence at this site is likely supported by low-mode internal tides dissipating in the far field (Nash et al., 2003). At all sites, the dissipation rates are maximum along the topography, and decay away from the topography with height. Enhanced turbulence levels are found to extend up to 1000 m from the bottom. The energy flux carried by the internal tide can radiate as propagating internal waves, and these waves are subject to a collection of processes that will eventually lead to dissipation. Shear instability, wave-wave interactions, and topographic scattering all act to influence the rate of dissipation and control whether the internal tide dissipates near the generation site or far away. Understanding the physical cascade that allows energy in the internal tide to power turbulence is one goal of ocean mixing research. 2. Internal tide energy flux vertical structure (exponential decay) Several nondimensional parameters are needed to model the physical regime of internal tide generation. One parameter, ku0 /ω, measures the ratio of the tidal excursion length scale U0 /ω to the length scale of the topography k 1. This parameter is discussed by Bell (1975) and others, and distinguishes a wave response dominated by the fundamental tidal frequency (ku0 /ω < 1) from a lee-wave response involving higher tidal harmonics (ku0 /ω > 1). A second parameter,
