Energy transfers in internal tide generation, propagation and dissipation in the deep ocean

Floor J.W., Auclair F., Marsaleix P., 2011 Ocean Modelling

The energy transfers associated with internal tide (IT) generation by a semi-diurnal surface tidal wave impinging on a supercritical meridionally uniform deep ocean ridge on the f-plane, and subsequent IT-propagation are analysed using the Boussinesq, free-surface, terrain-following ocean model Symphonie. The energy diagnostics are explicitly based on the numerical formulation of the governing equations, permitting a globally conservative, high-precision analysis of all physical and numerical/artificial energy transfers in a sub-domain with open lateral boundaries.
