• Estimating tidally driven mixing in the deep ocean (2002, methodology): “…have provided direct evidence of internal tide driven turbulence along the continental slopes [Lien and Gregg, 2001; Moum et al., 2002], open-ocean seamounts [Lueck and Mudge, 1997; Kunze and Toole, 1997] and abyssal topography [Polzin et al., 1997; Ledwell et al., 2000; St. Laurent et al., 2001].”
• Global Abyssal Mixing Inferred from Lowered ADCP Shear and CTD Strain Profiles (2006, background): “…over seamounts (Nabatov and Ozmidov 1988; Kunze and Toole 1997; Lueck and Mudge 1997), ridges (Althaus et al. 2003; Klymak et al. 2006), canyons (St. Laurent et al. 2001; Carter and Gregg 2002), and hydraulically controlled passages between basins (Roemmich et al. 1996; Polzin et al. 1996; Ferron…”
• Turning Ocean Mixing Upside Down (2015, unknown): “However, waters sink (they do not rise) in regions where the rate of mixing increases toward the ocean bottom (Gargett 1984; Polzin et al. 1997; St. Laurent et al. 2001; Simmons et al. 2004; Klocker and McDougall 2010; Kunze et al. 2012).”
• Tidally driven mixing in a numerical model of the ocean general circulation (2003, background): “Motivated by microstructure profiles in the abyssal Brazil Basin (St. Laurent et al., 2001) and near the continental slope (Moum et al., 2002), we chose for our vertical structure function a bottom intensified exponential profile of turbulent kinetic energy dissipation with an e-folding scale of 500”
• The Role of Internal Tides in Mixing the Deep Ocean (2002, unknown): “St. Laurent et al. (2001) present vertically integrated dissipation data that are modulated over the spring–neap tidal cycle with a small lag of about a day.”
