A new paper by Gerd A. Bruss, Estel Font, Bastien Queste, and Rob A. Hall has been published in Ocean Science.

The study, “Internal tides on the Al-Batinah shelf: evolution, structure and predictability”, uses moored temperature and velocity observations from the northern Oman shelf to investigate how internal tides evolve under strong stratification.

Internal tides are an important mechanism for transferring energy across shelves and into the ocean interior. Understanding their structure and predictability helps us better understand mixing, exchange, and transport processes in the Gulf of Oman.
