[2] This paper presents an observational study of internal waves at tidal (diurnal) frequency
on a sloping bottom and discusses the possible impact on turbulent mixing and dissipation.
Among a number of mechanisms where turbulent mixing can be generated near a sloping
bottom, scattering of internal tides are known to be a primary mechanism that leads to the
transfer of energy toward smaller scales [Müller and Xu, 1992; Kunze and Toole, 1997; Nash
et al., 2004; Kunze and Llewellyn Smith, 2004; Polzin, 2004; Venayagamoorthy and  ...
