Turbulence and internal waves in Patricia Bay, Saanich Inlet, British Columbia
2014, Continental Shelf ResearchCitation Excerpt :Small dynamic ranges for both ϵ and internal wave energy in this study may explain the weak correlation between them. In fjords, internal waves generated by oscillating barotropic currents over sills have been argued to provide most of the power required for turbulence and diapycnal mixing in deep waters (Stigebrandt, 1976; Stigebrandt and Aure, 1989; Simpson and Rippeth, 1993; Tinis, 1995). This signal might not appear in a boundary bay, because internal waves generated at the 75-m sill would find the most conducive waveguide into the deep water to the south, with only a fraction of the energy propagating up onto the 100-m deep shelf where our measurements were collected.
A box model of the seasonal exchange and mixing in Regions of Restricted Exchange: Application to two contrasting Scottish inlets
2013, Environmental Modelling and SoftwareCitation Excerpt :The processes that dominate exchange between RREs and the adjacent coastal ocean are the tides, a density-driven circulation caused by both freshwater discharges into the RRE and fluctuations in the coastal density profile (e.g. Arneborg, 2004), and deep water renewal in fjordic estuaries (Farmer and Freeland, 1983). Within an RRE, entrainment and mixing processes, caused by wind stirring, velocity shear and internal wave activity (e.g. Stigebrandt, 1976, 1977; Farmer and Freeland, 1983; Simpson and Rippeth, 1993), redistribute water properties between surface and deep water layers. The net effect of these processes is to produce a water column structure in RREs that can be effectively represented by two or three horizontally- and vertically-uniform layers, separated by primary and secondary pycnoclines.

2011, Continental Shelf ResearchCitation Excerpt :Stratification induced by salinity, as observed in Queullin, is also a recognized mechanism to increase productivity in estuaries (Cloern, 1984) and fjords (Masson and Peña, 2009). Other fjordic systems exhibit a pattern of alternation between stratification and mixing during spring and winter, respectively (Simpson and Rippeth, 1993), a feature not observed in this work, where both stations are dominated for each corresponding pattern the entire year. The vertical distribution of two of the larval fishes differed between areas.
Climatology of surface and near-bed temperature and salinity on the north-west European continental shelf for 1971-2000
2009, Continental Shelf ResearchCitation Excerpt :The climatology shows the expected distributions of temperature and salinity throughout the year and across the region. The locations of tidal mixing fronts and ROFIs agree well with those presented by other researchers (Simpson and Rippeth, 1993; Simpson, 1997; Fisher et al., 2002; Holt and Umlauf, 2008). Moreover, comparison with other climatologies, such as those by Janssen et al. (1999) and Elliott et al. (1991), BSH (Loewe, 1996; Loewe et al., 2003) and ICOADS show good agreement of the annual cycles and monthly averages.
