Trapped tidal currents generate freely propagating internal waves at the Arctic continental slope

Abstract Energetic tidal currents in the Arctic play an important role in local mixing processes, but they are primarily confined to the shelves and continental slopes due to topographic trapping north of their critical latitude. Recent studies employing idealized models have suggested that the emer...
