The fate and impact of internal waves in nearshore ecosystems
CB Woodson - Annual review of marine science, 2018 - annualreviews.org
Internal waves are widespread features of global oceans that play critical roles in mixing and
thermohaline circulation. Similarly to surface waves, internal waves can travel long …

Drivers of biogeochemical variability in a central California kelp forest: implications for local amelioration of ocean acidification
Kelp forests are among the world's most productive marine ecosystems, and they have the
potential to locally ameliorate ocean acidification (OA). In order to understand the …

The dynamics of breaking internal solitary waves on slopes
RS Arthur, OB Fringer - Journal of fluid mechanics, 2014 - cambridge.org
Using direct numerical simulations (DNS), we investigate the structure and energetics of
breaking internal waves on slopes. We employ a Navier–Stokes code in an idealized three …
