Abstract

Records of temperature fluctuations in a thermocline show an energy peak close to the local Brunt-Väisälä frequency. This supports recent observations that short internal waves are common phenomena within the thermocline. The high rate of energy of these waves permits the conclusion that they may break and form patches of turbulence. It is assumed that these short internal waves and turbulence patches contribute to the acoustic backscattering observed from these layers.
