5. Internal wave breaking mixes stratified fluid near boundary Successive mixing events and subsequent collapse lead to gradual dispersal of boundary layer fluid away from margin Fluorescein-dyed boundary layer fluid spreading into the interior.

8. Survey Box  8 occupations of 9 stations (72 XCPs) over 12.4 hours, followed by microstructure time-series.  5 km  5 km box, resolves M 2 and M 4 harmonic.  Additional 1/2-hourly XCP+microstructure time-series for 12.4 hours at one spot to resolve high-frequency variability  Max XCP depth = 2000 m; profiles to 1 m above bottom

13. Timing/Location Criteria 3 cycles of the semidiurnal tide (close to spring) Less than 2000 m water depth Probably site survey near FLIP Strong internal tides and 2-D geometry preferred 3 cycles of the semidiurnal tide (close to spring) Less than 2000 m water depth Probably site survey near FLIP Strong internal tides and 2-D geometry preferred
