Energy transformations and dissipation of nonlinear internal waves over New Jersey's continental shelf

The energetics of large amplitude, high-frequency nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) observed over the New Jersey continental shelf are summarized from ship and mooring data acquired in August 2006. NLIW energy was typically on the order of 10<sup>5</sup> Jm<sup&...
