Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 274762653
The scattering and refraction of low-mode internal tides by interactions with mesoscale eddies provides a direct and important energetic link between mesoscale processes and the internal wavefield. The projekt W2 will improve the understanding of the involved processes by quantifying the eddy-induced changes in the magnitude, direction, and vertical structure of internal tides in the mid-latitude ocean.
