INTERNAL HYDRAULIC PROCESSES IN AN ARCTIC FJORD

There is growing evidence that a significant fraction of the diapycnal mixing in the oceans is caused by internal hydraulic processes (e.g., internal wave breaking, internal hydraulic jumps etc.). Fjords are convenient as ocean process laboratories since they exhibit many of the physical phenome...
