Diurnal cycle of internal wave variability in the equatorial Pacific Ocean: results from moored observations

Abstract

A diurnal cycle in temperature and vertical displacement variance has been observed in the stratified region below the surface mixed layer using moored time-series data at 0°, 140°W for three periods: November 1984, April 1987, and May-June 1987. The amplitude of the cycle during each of the experiments, and the likely causes of variance are discussed. -after Authors
