Pulsed delivery of subthermocline water to Conch Reef (Florida Keys) by internal tidal bores
Open accessAbstract
Internal tidal bores generated by breaking internal waves cause dramatic, high‐frequency variation in temperature, salinity, water velocities, and concentration of chlorophyll a on Conch Reef, Florida Keys. The arrival of bores on the reef slope is linked to a semidiurnal internal tide and is marked by temperature drops of up to 5.4°C and salinity increases of up to 0.6‰ in 1–20 min. These changes are accompanied by the sudden onset of upslope flow 1–15 m above the bottom with speeds of 10–30 cm s−1. Cool, high‐salinity water is transported from below the thermocline seaward of the reef and is resident on the reef slope for up to 4 h before it mixes with surface waters and recedes downslope. Compared with ambient surface water, this deep water can contain significantly elevated concentrations of dissolved nitrate. Physical variability produced by this mechanism increases significantly with depth on the reef slope. Analysis of 3‐yr temperature records indicates the arrival of internal bores is a consistent feature at this site from May through November, with peak activity in July–September. Pulsed delivery of subthermocline water appears to significantly affect the temperature, nutrient, and particle flux regimes on this coral reef.

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.
