Abstract
Several sequential upwelling events were observed in fall 2012, using measurements from the outer half of the continental shelf in Monterey Bay, during which the infiltration of dense water onto the shelf created a secondary, near-bottom pycnocline. This deep pycnocline existed in concert with the near-surface pycnocline and enabled the propagation of near-bottom, cold, semidiurnal internal tidal bores, as well as energetic, high-frequency, nonlinear internal waves of elevation (IWOE). The IWOE occurred within 20m of the bottom, had amplitudes of 8–24 m, periods of 6–45 min, and depth-integrated energy fluxes up to 200Wm 1. Iribarren numbers (<0.03) indicate that these IWOE were nonbreaking in this region of the shelf. These observations further demonstrate how regional upwelling dynamics and the resulting bulk, cross-margin hydrography is a first-order control on the ability of internal waves, at tidal and higher frequencies, to propagate through continental shelf waters.

    MEASUREMENTS OF ACOUSTIC SCATTERING FROM ROCKY OUTCROPS IN MONTEREY BAY 

    Gruber, Jenillee A. (Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2019-12);
    Acoustic measurements were made off Asilomar Beach using a 200kHz split-beam echosounder. The scattering cross section was estimated using the acoustic data collected and the sonar equation. Two methods were used to estimate ...

    Topographical scattering of waves: a spectral approach 

    Magne, Rudy; Ardhuin, Fabrice; Rey, Vincent; Herbers, Thomas H.C. (ArXiv, 2005);
    The topographical scattering of gravity waves is investigated using a spectral energy balance equation that accounts for first order wave-bottom Bragg scattering. This model represents the bottom topography and surface ...

    Perturbative inversion of geoacoustic parameters in a shallow water environment 

    Null, James Mark. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1995-03);
    In many strategic shallow water areas the geoacoustic properties of the sub-bottom are largely unknown. In this thesis it is demonstrated that inverse theory and measured data from a single hydrophone can be used to ...
