Internal Tide Breaking

Internal Tide Breaking is the process by which internal tides, a type of internal wave generated by barotropic tidal flow over underwater topography, dissipate their energy through nonlinear instabilities and wave-bottom interactions, leading to localized turbulence and enhanced diapycnal mixing in the ocean interior.
