Interpreting Energy and Tracer Spectra of Upper-Ocean Turbulence in the Submesoscale Range (1–200 km) (2013, background): “Starting with the seminal work of Garrett and Munk (1972), it was realized that internal waves are characterized by a continuum spectrum spanning frequencies from f toN, over which a few spectral peaks due to tides and inertial motions are superimposed.”
Internal Swell Generation: The Spatial Distribution of Energy Flux from the Wind to Mixed Layer Near-Inertial Motions (2001, background): “Observational evidence for the occurrence of PSI is scarce, and Garrett (2001) points out that the waves would reﬂect off the bottom many times before they underwent PSI.”
Model-predicted distribution of wind-induced internal wave energy in the world's oceans (2008, unknown): “…of the upper and deep ocean responses to traveling storms [Gill, 1984; D'Asaro et al., 1995; Large and Crawford, 1995; Nagasawa et al., 2000; Garrett, 2001] We next examine the seasonal variations of stratification and mixed layer depth in the regions of significant wind energy input,…”
Ocean Circulation Kinetic Energy: Reservoirs, Sources, and Sinks (2009, background): “Garrett (2001) noted that the spectral density in the range of frequencies, f ≤ σ ≤ 2f, could acquire energy from internal waves above this band through the parametric subharmonic instability (PSI) and indeed the power law at high frequencies seen in the figures is much flatter than it is in the…”
VERTICAL MIXING, ENERGY, AND THE GENERAL CIRCULATION OF THE OCEANS (2004, background): “…so na l u se o nl y. 13 Dec 2003 18:52 AR AR203-FL36-12.tex AR203-FL36-12.sgm LaTeX2e(2002/01/18)P1: IBD 300 WUNSCH ¥ FERRARI The observed internal wave spectrum contains a large peak near the inertial frequency,f (Fu 1981, Garrett 2001), only partially accounted for by the GarrettMunk description.”
