“…However, quantification of mean fluxes through the channel is complicated by intense activity at the mesoscale and at finer scales. Developing an understanding of the effects of this activity, which includes eddies, trains of solitary waves, and an internal tide with an amplitude of ∼40 m, is essential to accurately parametrizing climatic models (e.g., Dooley, 1975;Dooley & Meincke, 1981;Hall et al, 2019Hall et al, , 2011Hosegood et al, 2004;Sherwin et al, 1999Sherwin et al, , 2006Sherwin, 1991). Mesoscale and fine-scale fluctuations within the channel have important implications for fish stocks and for the safe operation of deep-sea rigs (e.g., Gallego et al, 2018;Hansen & Jákupsstovu, 1992;Shelton et al, 1997).…”
