Internal tide and solitons on the Scotian Shelf: A nutrient pump at work
Abstract
During a measurement program on the Scotian Shelf off Nova Scotia, large amplitude internal waves were observed in the vicinity of the shelf edge. Some were identified positively as solitons. The observations provide insight into the soliton generation process and explain the role they play in the transfer of energy from tides to ocean mixing. It is found that the shoreward propagating energy in the baroclinic tide, which is generated at the shelf edge, is dissipated by way of the large‐amplitude, short internal waves. Based on observed dissipation rates of solitary waves, it is concluded that the associated amount of mixing is sufficient to supply the required nutrients to the euphotic zone.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
