Energy spectra of the ocean's internal wave field: theory and observations
The high-frequency limit of the Garrett and Munk spectrum of internal waves
in the ocean and the observed deviations from it are shown to form a pattern
consistent with the predictions of wave turbulence theory. In particular, the
high frequency limit of the Garrett and Munk spectrum constitutes an {\it
exact} steady state solution of the corresponding kinetic equation.Comment: 4 pages, one color figur
Toward Regional Characterizations of the Oceanic Internal Wavefield
Many major oceanographic internal wave observational programs of the last 4
decades are reanalyzed in order to characterize variability of the deep ocean
internal wavefield. The observations are discussed in the context of the
universal spectral model proposed by Garrett and Munk. The Garrett and Munk
model is a good description of wintertime conditions at Site-D on the
continental rise north of the Gulf Stream. Elsewhere and at other times,
significant deviations in terms of amplitude, separability of the 2-D vertical
wavenumber - frequency spectrum, and departure from the model's functional form
are noted. Subtle geographic patterns are apparent in deviations from the high
frequency and high vertical wavenumber power laws of the Garrett and Munk
spectrum. Moreover, such deviations tend to co-vary: whiter frequency spectra
are partnered with redder vertical wavenumber spectra. Attempts are made to
interpret the variability in terms of the interplay between generation,
propagation and nonlinearity using a statistical radiative balance equation.
This process frames major questions for future research with the insight that
such integrative studies could constrain both observationally and theoretically
based interpretations

Hamiltonian formalism and the Garrett-Munk spectrum of internal waves in the ocean
Wave turbulence formalism for long internal waves in a stratified fluid is
developed, based on a natural Hamiltonian description. A kinetic equation
appropriate for the description of spectral energy transfer is derived, and its
self-similar stationary solution corresponding to a direct cascade of energy
toward the short scales is found. This solution is very close to the high
wavenumber limit of the Garrett-Munk spectrum of long internal waves in the
ocean. In fact, a small modification of the Garrett-Munk formalism includes a
spectrum consistent with the one predicted by wave turbulence.Comment: 4 pages latex fil
