text: As part of an ongoing effort to develop a parameterization of wave-induced
abyssal mixing, the authors derive an heuristic model for nonlinear wave breaking
and energy dissipation associated with internal tides. Then the saturation and
dissipation of internal tides for idealized and observed topography samples are
investigated. One of the main results is that the wave-induced mixing could be
more intense and more confined to the bottom than previously assumed in numerical
models. Furthermore, in this model wave breaking and mixing clearly depend on
the small scales of the topography below 10 km or so, which is below the current
resolution of global bathymetry. This motivates the use of a statistical approach
to represent the unresolved topography when addressing the role of internal tides
in mixing the deep ocean.
