Spatial and temporal variability of global ocean mixing inferred from Argo profiles (2012, background): “ated global maps of geostrophic energy input into lee waves [Nikurashin and Ferrari, 2011] support the eddy-topography interaction possibility for diapycnal mixing near the ocean”
Challenges and Prospects in Ocean Circulation Models (2019, background): “Instead, the diapycnal mixing can be formulated in terms of the global internal wave energy budget (Ferrari and Wunsch, 2009; Eden and Olbers, 2014), with sources of energy from the tides (Garrett and Kunze, 2007), surface winds, and flow over topography (Nikurashin and Ferrari, 2011; Scott et al., ”
Sensitivity of the Ocean State to the Vertical Distribution of Internal-Tide-Driven Mixing (2013, background): “…and barotropic tides over topography in the stratiﬁed ocean, leading to, respectively, the generation of internal lee waves (e.g., Nikurashin and Ferrari 2011) and baroclinic tides (internal waves at the tidal frequency, also called internal tides, e.g., Egbert and Ray 2000; Niwa and Hibiya…”
Overturning circulation driven by breaking internal waves in the deep ocean (2013, methodology): “[5] We use previous estimates of the energy conversion into internal waves by tides [Nycander, 2005] and geostrophic motions [Nikurashin and Ferrari, 2011] and a recent parameterization [St.”
