“…Over the past four decades, a number of studies have focused on quantifying the mixing induced by IWs (Jones et al, 2020;Lamb, 2014;MacKinnon et al, 2017;Moum et al, 2003;Palmer et al, 2015;Sandstrom and Oakey, 1995;Vic et al, 2019). However, the complex interactions of internal waves with topography mean that understanding the energy dissipation processes and quantifying IW mixing rates on the continental shelf is not an easy task and remains an active area of research (Grados et al, 2016;Hamann et al, 2018;Nash et al, 2012;Zulberti et al, 2020). As pointed out by Schafstall et al (2010), a general parameterization of mixing for such areas is still lacking.…”
