Sensitivity of the Ocean State to the Vertical Distribution of Internal-Tide-Driven Mixing (2013, background): “Away from the surface layers, several processes contribute to diapycnal mixing, such as shear instabilities (e.g., Alford and Pinkel 2000), overﬂows (e.g., Legg et al. 2009), or mixing hydraulic jumps (Thurnherr et al. 2005) but in the ocean interior, it is largely sustained by breaking internal…”
Prototypical solitons in the South China Sea (2006, methodology): “[9] To document the presence of turbulence in this wave we looked for overturns in the density profiles [Alford and Pinkel, 2000].”
TOWARD REGIONAL CHARACTERIZATIONS OF THE OCEANIC INTERNAL WAVEFIELD (2010, methodology): “of this wind work using the Pollard and Millard [1970] damped-slab model are presented in Alford [2003]; Watanabe and Hibiya [2002], Fig.”
Direct Breaking of the Internal Tide near Topography: Kaena Ridge, Hawaii (2008, unknown): “The following analysis is similar to that found in Alford and Pinkel (2000b), with similar results.”
