Diurnal-period internal waves near point conception, California
چکیده انگلیسی
Diurnal-period internal waves were observed near Point Conception California, using an array of moorings extending 120 km along the inner shelf. The waves have an along-shelf coherence scale of at least 50 km, and appear to propagate nearly straight onshore. Wave amplitudes vary over time, depending on thermal stratification and the amplitude of the diurnal sea breeze oscillation. Barotropic tides and vorticity over the mid-shelf are not correlated with internal wave amplitude. Large amplitude internal waves, with supercritical Froude numbers, are observed in mid-summer. Although such waves may drive vertical mixing and cross-shelf transport of passive particles, there is no significant correlation between wave amplitude and invertebrate settlement in the Santa Barbara Channel.
