Internal Waves, Turbulence, Diapycnal Mixing

The mean Beddy density was estimated by Reissmann (2007, personal communication) 

Beddies/1000 km. This would imply that the number of Beddies TV existing simultaneous in 

Polzin et al. (1995) were able to find a scaling of the dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy in terms of the frequency distribution of energy within the deep-ocean internal wave field for wave fields that differed from the Garret-Munk model. 

Polzin et al. (1995) that predicts e ocTV which is based on the wave-wave interaction 

This result suggests that the dissipation of kinetic energy in the stratified layers may vary in space and time as the total energy of the internal wave field varies in the Baltic Sea.
