Model-predicted distribution of wind-induced internal wave energy in the world's oceans (2008, unknown): “Figures 5 confirms that the calculated spatial pattern of the wind-induced energy for each season is in good agreement with that of the slab models [Watanabe and Hibiya, 2002; Alford, 2003a], while the total estimate of the wind energy input is somewhat smaller than predicted by the slab models…”
Modulation of Wind-Work by Oceanic Current Interaction with the Atmosphere (2016, background): “Two strong pathways of mechanical energy from the surface to the deeper ocean are clear at present: wind forcing of near-inertial oscillations and wind forcing of surface Ekman currents and geostrophic ﬂow (Alford 2003; Watanabe and Hibiya 2002; Scott and Xu 2009).”
Tidally driven mixing in a numerical model of the ocean general circulation (2003, background): “Some internal wave energy is derived from the transmission of wind energy through the surface mixed layer (Alford, 2001; Watanabe and Hibiya, 2002).”
