Numerical study of tide-induced mixing over rough bathymetry in the abyssal ocean
Description: In the present study, using a two-dimensional vertical numerical model for the Brazil Basin, researchers numerically examine the intensity and vertical structure of tide-induced mixing over multi-beam bottom bathymetry via the comparison with those over somewhat smoothed bottom bathymetry. In comparison to the response over the smoothed bottom bathymetry, energy dissipation rates are enhanced within a few hundred meters over the multi-beam bottom bathymetry.
