ME24A:
Ecological Consequences of Internal Waves, Internal Tides, and Solitons in the Ocean Posters


Session ID#: 9446

Session Description:
At the crossroads of physics and geology, nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) are generated where currents in a density-stratified water column intersect with topography. They are ubiquitous in the ocean and contribute significantly to physical mixing, biological productivity and benthic biodiversity across a wide range of scales, from diurnal internal tides to packets of solitons. Changes in stratification might alter NLIW energetics in the future ocean, but the consequences for the biota are at present unknown. Here, we invite contributions linking NLIW dynamics to pelagic productivity and export to the benthos, aggregation and transport of food and propagules, shoaling of NLIWs, propagation of bores and the consequences of the resulting environmental variability on pelagic and benthic biota. Field, laboratory and modelling studies linking the physics, geology and biology across a full range of marine ecosystems are welcome.
