<p>Oceanic nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) play an important role in regional circulation, biogeochemistry, energetics, vertical mixing, and underwater acoustics, causing hazards to marine engineering and submarine navigation. Mainly generated by the interaction of the barotropic tides with the bottom topography, they propagate and transform due to wave-wave interaction process. Here, we present characteristics of first two modes of NLIWs observed using high-resolution spatiotemporal data collected in a relatively flat area in the northeastern East China Sea in May 2015. Six groups of NLIWs were identified from the observations: four groups of mode-1 and two groups of mode-2. The amplitude, propagation speed, and characteristic width of mode-1 NLIWs had ranges of 4–16 m, 0.53–0.56 m s<sup>-1</sup>, and 310–610 m, respectively. The mode-2 NLIWs propagate eastward slowly with a speed less than 0.37 m s<sup>-1</sup> with a comparable amplitude of 4–14 m and longer characteristic width of 540–1920 m. Intermodal interactions may take a role in the evolution of mode-1 NLIWs west of the observational area. Our results characterizing the two modes of NLIWs highlight the significance of propagation and transformation of NLIWs and their modal interactions on a broad and shallow shelf.</p>

Regional Circulation

<p>Oceanic nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) play an important role in regional circulation, biogeochemistry, energetics, vertical mixing, underwater acoustics, marine engineering, and submarine navigation, most commonly generated by the interaction between barotropic tides and bathymetry. Here, we present characteristics of first mode NLIWs observed using high-resolution in-situ data collected using moored and underway temperature sensors in a relatively flat bottom in the northeastern East China Sea during May 15-28, 2015. During the experiment, totally 34 events of first mode NLIWs were identified and characterized with amplitude of 4–16 m, characteristic width of 310–610 m, propagation speed of 0.53–0.56 m s<sup>-1</sup>, and propagation direction (mainly southwestward propagation), respectively. Most NLIWs were observed during period of spring tide with phases locked to semidiurnal barotropic tides. Generation and propagation of the first mode NLIWs observed in the region are discussed in relation to satellite images and historical hydrographic data collected in the region. Our results support significance of first mode NLIWs and their interactions on turbulent mixing and regional circulation particularly in a broad and shallow continental shelves where the NLIWs generated from multiple sources propagate into multi-directions experiencing wave-wave interactions.</p>
