  • Slow Persistent Mixing in the Abyss
    Reference: van Haren, H., 2020. Slow persistent mixing in the abyss. Ocean Dyn., 70, 339- 352. Slow persistent mixing in the abyss by Hans van Haren* Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ) and Utrecht University, P.O. Box 59, 1790 AB Den Burg, the Netherlands. *e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Knowledge about deep-ocean turbulent mixing and flow circulation above abyssal hilly plains is important to quantify processes for the modelling of resuspension and dispersal of sediments in areas where turbulence sources are expected to be relatively weak. Turbulence may disperse sediments from artificial deep-sea mining activities over large distances. To quantify turbulent mixing above the deep-ocean floor around 4000 m depth, high-resolution moored temperature sensor observations have been obtained from the near-equatorial southeast Pacific (7°S, 88°W). Models demonstrate low activity of equatorial flow dynamics, internal tides and surface near-inertial motions in the area. The present observations demonstrate a Conservative Temperature difference of about 0.012°C between 7 and 406 meter above the bottom (hereafter, mab, for short), which is a quarter of the adiabatic lapse rate. The very weakly stratified waters with buoyancy periods between about six hours and one day allow for slowly varying mixing. The calculated turbulence dissipation rate values are half to one order of magnitude larger than those from open-ocean turbulent exchange well away from bottom topography and surface boundaries. In the deep, turbulent overturns extend up to 100 m tall, in the ocean-interior, and also reach the lowest sensor. The overturns are governed by internal-wave-shear and -convection.

  • Fe,Mg)S, the IRON-DOMINANT ANALOGUE of NININGERITE
    1687 The Canadian Mineralogist Vol. 40, pp. 1687-1692 (2002) THE NEW MINERAL SPECIES KEILITE, (Fe,Mg)S, THE IRON-DOMINANT ANALOGUE OF NININGERITE MASAAKI SHIMIZU§ Department of Earth Sciences, Faculty of Science, Toyama University, 3190 Gofuku, Toyama 930-8555, Japan § HIDETO YOSHIDA Department of Earth and Planetary Science, Graduate School of Science, University of Tokyo, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-0033, Japan § JOSEPH A. MANDARINO 94 Moore Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M4T 1V3, and Earth Sciences Division, Royal Ontario Museum, 100 Queens’s Park, Toronto, Ontario M5S 2C6, Canada ABSTRACT Keilite, (Fe,Mg)S, is a new mineral species that occurs in several meteorites. The original description of niningerite by Keil & Snetsinger (1967) gave chemical analytical data for “niningerite” in six enstatite chondrites. In three of those six meteorites, namely Abee and Adhi-Kot type EH4 and Saint-Sauveur type EH5, the atomic ratio Fe:Mg has Fe > Mg. Thus this mineral actually represents the iron-dominant analogue of niningerite. By analogy with synthetic MgS and niningerite, keilite is cubic, with space group Fm3m, a 5.20 Å, V 140.6 Å3, Z = 4. Keilite and niningerite occur as grains up to several hundred ␮m across. Because of the small grain-size, most of the usual physical properties could not be determined. Keilite is metallic and opaque; in reflected light, it is isotropic and gray. Point-count analyses of samples of the three meteorites by Keil (1968) gave the following amounts of keilite (in vol.%): Abee 11.2, Adhi-Kot 0.95 and Saint-Sauveur 3.4.

  • Resonant Interactions of Surface and Internal Waves with Seabed Topography by Louis-Alexandre Couston a Dissertation Submitted I
    Resonant Interactions of Surface and Internal Waves with Seabed Topography By Louis-Alexandre Couston A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy in Engineering - Mechanical Engineering in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Mohammad-Reza Alam, Chair Professor Ronald W. Yeung Professor Philip S. Marcus Professor Per-Olof Persson Spring 2016 Abstract Resonant Interactions of Surface and Internal Waves with Seabed Topography by Louis-Alexandre Couston Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering - Mechanical Engineering University of California, Berkeley Professor Mohammad-Reza Alam, Chair This dissertation provides a fundamental understanding of water-wave transformations over seabed corrugations in the homogeneous as well as in the stratified ocean. Contrary to a flat or mildly sloped seabed, over which water waves can travel long distances undisturbed, a seabed with small periodic variations can strongly affect the propagation of water waves due to resonant wave-seabed interactions{a phenomenon with many potential applications. Here, we investigate theoretically and with direct simulations several new types of wave transformations within the context of inviscid fluid theory, which are different than the classical wave Bragg reflection. Specifically, we show that surface waves traveling over seabed corrugations can become trapped and amplified, or deflected at a large angle (∼ 90◦) relative to the incident direction of propagation. Wave trapping is obtained between two sets of parallel corrugations, and we demonstrate that the amplification mechanism is akin to the Fabry-Perot resonance of light waves in optics. Wave deflection requires three-dimensional and bi-chromatic corrugations and is obtained when the surface and corrugation wavenumber vectors satisfy a newly found class I2 Bragg resonance condition.

  • Silicate-Sio Reaction in a Protoplanetary Disk Recorded by Oxygen Isotopes in Chondrules
    Silicate-SiO reaction in a protoplanetary disk recorded by oxygen isotopes in chondrules Ryoji Tanaka1* & Eizo Nakamura1 1The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University, Misasa, Tottori, 682-0193, Japan *Corresponding author: [email protected] The formation of planetesimals and planetary embryos during the earliest stages of the solar protoplanetary disk largely determined the composition and structure of the terrestrial planets. Within a few million years (Myr) after the birth of the solar system, chondrule formation and accretion of the parent bodies of differentiated achondrites and the terrestrial planets took place in the inner protoplanetary disk1,2. Here we show that, for chondrules in unequilibrated enstatite chondrites, high-precision Δ17O values (deviation of δ17O value from a terrestrial silicate fractionation line) vary significantly (ranging from -0.49 to +0.84‰) and fall on an array with a steep slope of 1.27 on a three oxygen isotope plot. This array can be explained by reaction between an olivine-rich chondrule melt and a SiO-rich gas derived from vaporized dust and nebular gas. Our study suggests that the majority of the building blocks of planetary embryos formed by successive silicate-gas interaction processes: silicate-H2O followed by silicate-SiO interactions under more oxidized and reduced conditions, respectively, within a few Myr after the formation of the solar system. Major precursor components of enstatite chondrites (EC), differentiated planetesimals, Mars, and the Earth are thought to have been formed at similar heliocentric distances3,4. The unequilibrated EC preserve records of nebular conditions in each component (chondrules, Ca- Al-rich inclusions [CAIs], Fe-Ni-metal, and matrix), each of which has not been heavily overprinted by post-accretionary thermal processes.

  • The Impact of Fortnightly Stratification Variability on the Generation Of
    Journal of Marine Science and Engineering Article The Impact of Fortnightly Stratification Variability on the Generation of Baroclinic Tides in the Luzon Strait Zheen Zhang 1,*, Xueen Chen 1 and Thomas Pohlmann 2 1 College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266100, China; [email protected] 2 Centre for Earth System Research and Sustainability, Institute of Oceanography, University of Hamburg, 20146 Hamburg, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The impact of fortnightly stratification variability induced by tide–topography interaction on the generation of baroclinic tides in the Luzon Strait is numerically investigated using the MIT general circulation model. The simulation shows that advection of buoyancy by baroclinic flows results in daily oscillations and a fortnightly variability in the stratification at the main generation site of internal tides. As the stratification for the whole Luzon Strait is periodically redistributed by these flows, the energy analysis indicates that the fortnightly stratification variability can significantly affect the energy transfer between barotropic and baroclinic tides. Due to this effect on stratification variability by the baroclinic flows, the phases of baroclinic potential energy variability do not match the phase of barotropic forcing in the fortnight time scale. This phenomenon leads to the fact that the maximum baroclinic tides may not be generated during the maximum barotropic forcing. Therefore, a significant impact of stratification variability on the generation of baroclinic tides is demonstrated Citation: Zhang, Z.; Chen, X.; by our modeling study, which suggests a lead–lag relation between barotropic tidal forcing and Pohlmann, T.

  • On the Fraction of Internal Tide Energy Dissipated Near Topography
    On the Fraction of Internal Tide Energy Dissipated Near Topography Louis C. St. Laurent Department of Oceanography, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida Jonathan D. Nash College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Science, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon Abstract. Internal tides have been implicated as a major source of me- chanical energy for mixing in the ocean interior. Indeed, microstructure and tracer measurements have indicated that enhanced turbulence levels occur near topography where internal tides are generated. However, the details of the energy budget and the mechanisms by which energy is transferred from the internal tide to turbulence have been uncertain. It now seems that the energy levels associated with locally enhanced mixing near topography may constitute only a small fraction of the available internal tide energy flux. In this study, the generation, radiation, and energy dissipation of deep ocean internal tides are examined. Properties of the internal tide at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Hawaiian Ridge are considered. It is found that most internal tide energy is generated as low modes. The Richardson number of the generated internal tide typically exceeds unity for these motions, so direct shear instability of the generated waves is not the dominant energy transfer mechanism. It also seems that wave-wave interactions are ineffective at transferring energy from the large wavelengths that dominate the energy flux. Instead, it seems that much of the generated energy radiates away from the generation site in low mode waves. These low modes must dissipate somewhere in the ocean, though this likely occurs over O(1000 km) distances as the waves propagate.

  • Internal Tide Nonstationarity and Wave–Mesoscale Interactions in the Tasman Sea
    OCTOBER 2020 S A V A G E E T A L . 2931 Internal Tide Nonstationarity and Wave–Mesoscale Interactions in the Tasman Sea ANNA C. SAVAGE AND AMY F. WATERHOUSE Marine Physical Laboratory, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, California SAMUEL M. KELLY Large Lakes Observatory and Physics and Astronomy Department, University of Minnesota–Duluth, Duluth, Minnesota (Manuscript received 19 November 2019, in final form 13 July 2020) ABSTRACT Internal tides, generated by barotropic tides flowing over rough topography, are a primary source of energy into the internal wave field. As internal tides propagate away from generation sites, they can dephase from the equilibrium tide, becoming nonstationary. Here, we examine how low-frequency quasigeostrophic background flows scatter and dephase internal tides in the Tasman Sea. We demonstrate that a semi-idealized internal tide model [the Coupled-Mode Shallow Water model (CSW)] must include two background flow effects to replicate the in situ internal tide energy fluxes observed during the Tasmanian Internal Tide Beam Experiment (TBeam). The first effect is internal tide advection by the background flow, which strongly de- pends on the spatial scale of the background flow and is largest at the smaller scales resolved in the back- ground flow model (i.e., 50–400 km). Internal tide advection is also shown to scatter internal tides from 2 vertical mode-1 to mode-2 at a rate of about 1 mW m 2. The second effect is internal tide refraction due to background flow perturbations to the mode-1 eigenspeed. This effect primarily dephases the internal tide, 2 attenuating stationary energy at a rate of up to 5 mW m 2.

  • Continuous Seiche in Bays and Harbors

Park ([email protected]) Abstract. Seiches are often considered a transitory phenomenon wherein large amplitude water level oscillations are excited by a geophysical event, eventually dissipating some time after the event. However, continuous small–amplitude seiches have been recognized presenting a question as to the origin of continuous forcing. We examine 6 bays around the Pacific where continuous seiches 5 are evident, and based on spectral, modal and kinematic analysis suggest that tidally–forced shelf– resonances are a primary driver of continuous seiches. 1 Introduction It is long recognized that coastal water levels resonate. Resonances span the ocean as tides (Darwin, 1899) and bays as seiches (Airy, 1877; Chrystal, 1906). Bays and harbors offer refuge from the open 10 ocean by effectively decoupling wind waves and swell from an anchorage, although offshore waves are effective in driving resonant modes in the infragravity regime at periods of 30 s to 5 minutes (Okihiro and Guza, 1996; Thotagamuwage and Pattiaratchi, 2014), and at periods between 5 minutes and 2 hours bays and harbors can act as efficient amplifiers (Miles and Munk, 1961). Tides expressed on coasts are significantly altered by coastline and bathymetry, for example, 15 continental shelves modulate tidal amplitudes and dissipate tidal energy (Taylor, 1919) such that tidally–driven standing waves are a persistent feature on continental shelves (Webb, 1976; Clarke and Battisti, 1981).
