  1. Enhanced vertical mixing within mesoscale eddies due to high frequency winds in the south China sea

    Cardona Orozco, Yuley MildreyGeorgia Institute of Technology2011

    … a result, both the mesoscale eddy field and the near-inertial energy distribution display large spatial variability and they strongly influence the oceanic transport and mixing. With an ensemble of numerical integrations using a regional ocean model, this work investigates how the temporal …

    Farrar, J. ThomasMassachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution2003

    … with enhancement of the vertical shear by strong near-inertial waves in the upper ocean superimposed upon intra-seasonal baroclinic Rossby waves and the large scale zonal flow.

  4. The vertical propagation of inertial waves in the ocean

    Leaman, Kevin DouglasMassachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution1975

    … structure and temporal behavior of internal waves, particularly those with periods near the local inertial period. An important feature of the observed structure is the polarization of horizontal velocity components in the vertical. This polarization, along with temporal changes of the …

  5. Stratified and stirred: Monsoon freshwater in the Bay of Bengal

    Spiro Jaeger, GualtieroMassachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution2019

    … that both submesoscale sheared eddies, and thin near-inertial waves, form such layers. Fast formation timescales and large aspect ratios suggest they enhance horizontal mixing by shear dispersion, reducing variance at ⇠1–10 km scales.

  6. Broadband acoustic characterization of the deep scattering layer

    Zhuang, ZhaozhongMassachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution2025

    … dominated by fluid-like organisms. Energetic, near-inertial, oscillatory population movements with pronounced vertical shear were observed, likely driven by the “inertial drainpipe” effect of anticyclonic eddies that channel wind-generated near-inertial waves to depth. The superposition of wave …

  7. The Variability of High-Frequency Motions and Their Interactions with the Mesoscale on the Mississippi Shelf

    Earls, Jordan2019

    … Profiler (ADCP) measurements collected at nearshore (23 m), mid-shelf (60 m), and shelf break (88 m) stations. High-frequency motions are defined as motions with periods less than 36 hours, whereas mesoscale motions have larger periods. The collected datasets are analyzed through bandpass …
