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 …

Distributed fiber-optic sensing technology coupled to existing subsea cables (dark fiber)
allows observation of ocean and solid earth phenomena. We used an optical fiber from the …

Exchange of material across the nearshore region, extending from the shoreline to a few
kilometers offshore, determines the concentrations of pathogens and nutrients near the …

Internal waves can influence water properties in coastal ecosystems through the shoreward
transport and mixing of subthermocline water into the nearshore region. In June 2014, a field …

Understanding how climate change may influence ecosystems depends substantially on its
effects on foundation species, such as the ecologically important giant kelp (Macrocystis …

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 …

Non‐linear internal waves (NLIW) are important to processes such as heat transfer, nutrient
replenishment and sediment transport on continental shelves. Our unique field observations …

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 …

Declining oxygen is one of the most drastic changes in the ocean, and this trend is expected
to worsen under future climate change scenarios. Spatial variability in dissolved oxygen …

High‐frequency measurements of stratified turbulence throughout the water column were
collected over a 2 week period in the nearshore environment of southern Monterey Bay, CA …
