Abstract

A chain of 48 CTD units was towed through nonlinear internal wave packets on the continental shelf off New Jersey in August 2006, as part of the Shallow Water 2006 (SW06) experiment. Repeated passes through each packet were made, in order to study the evolution of the packets. The system was deployed in a way to get a resolution up to 1 m in the vertical and up to 6 m in the horizontal. A variety of phenomena were encountered, including evolution from an internal bore without waves into a packet with many waves, merging packets, solitary waves, and slower mode 2 waves. One example of a comparison with theoretical predictions is to compare the speed and detailed shape of waves to solutions of the Dubreil-Jacotin-Long equation for solitary waves.
