Statistics of Internal Tide Bores and Internal Solitary Waves Observed on the Inner Continental Shelf off Point Sal, California

Abstract: Moored observations of temperature and current were collected on the inner continental shelf off Point Sal, California, between 9 June and 8 August 2015. The measurements consist of 10 moorings in total: 4 moorings each on the 50- and 30-m isobaths covering a 10-km along-shelf distance and an across-shelf section of moorings on the 50-, 40-, 30-, and 20-m isobaths covering a 5-km distance. Energetic, highly variable, and strongly dissipating transient wave events termed internal tide bores and internal solitar… Show more

“…Previously, internal tidal bore statistics off Pt. Sal were shown to be consistent with the interference from multiple waves (Colosi et al, ). Wave interference may lead to incoherence if energy from multiple sources interacts with background currents and mesoscale eddy activity (e.g., Ponte & Klein, ; Zaron & Egbert, ).…”

“…Colorbar is the water depth h in meters; (b) L3 grid (resolution 200 m); and (c) L4 grid (resolution 66 m). Red squares are mooring locations at 50‐ and 30‐m water depth (also see Colosi et al, ). In (a) dashed black lines are depth contours 30, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1,000, 1,500, 2,000, 2,500, and 3,000 m. Parent grids L0 and L1 are shown elsewhere (Suanda et al, ).…”

“…This could be one of the causes for the relatively rapid modulation of the bore or ISW activity. 64 Since the proposed theory uses a perturbation approach to include diabatic topographic effects, the applicable slope range needs to be checked using some reference solutions. In this study, this was done using the analytic linear solution to Wunsch's subcritical wedge problem (Fig.…”
