The 2001 Hawaiian Ocean Mixing Experiment (HOME): Internal-tide Mode-1 Amplitude Data from the Southern Tomographic Array

Description

Ocean acoustic tomography was used to measure tides in the farfield of the Hawaiian Ridge in 2001 during the Hawaiian Ocean Mixing Experiment (HOME).   The measurements were components of a suite of large- and small-scale measurements obtained during HOME with the aim of illuminating the pathways of tidal energy that may be driving deep-ocean mixing.  Using reciprocal transmissions, the tomographic arrays were designed to measure the radiation of mode-1 internal tides from the Ridge, together with barotropic tidal currents. This publication makes available the tomographic estimates for mode-1 internal-waves derived
from the six paths of the southern HOME tomography array.
