PL42B:
Ocean Surface and Internal Tides III


Session ID#: 36760

Session Description:
This session solicits papers concerned with observing, predicting, and understanding the dynamics of surface and internal tides in the ocean. Ocean surface tides are largely coherent and narrowband processes which are unique among most oceanic phenomena in the degree to which they can be predicted. But the deviations from predictability can provide insights into non-tidal phenomena, particularly internal tide-eddy interactions, scattering, nonlinearity, and other dynamics leading to the decoherence of tides. Developments in both dynamical and empirical modeling of tides are also finding applications in the de-tiding of diverse ocean measurements, as increased accuracy is both being demanded and attained. Global and regional models and observations of tides are relevant to studies of historical and future tidal mixing, energy production from tidal current streams, regional trends in extreme sea level and flooding, and efforts to link land hydrology and coastal oceanography, with the latter prompted by preparations for the future Surface Water Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission.
